RELEASABILITY

Knots contrast in the exertion required to loosen them in the wake of stacking. Bunches that are hard to loosen, for example, the water tie, are said to "jam" or be Jamming knots. Knots that come unfastened with less trouble, for example, the Zeppelin twist, are alluded to as "non-jamming".

TERMINOLOGIES IN KNOTS TYING

1. THE WORKING END

In knotting terms the end of the rope that is used to actually tie and form the knot is known as the Working End, such as the end used to tie a Figure of Eight Re-Threaded. The working end can also be referred to as the tag end, tag end or running end.

2. A BIGHT

A bight is a U-shaped section of rope usually used to tie knots on the bight. A knot tied on the bight will normally form a Loop-Knot.

3. THE CROSSING POINT

A crossing point is where the rope crosses itself, this will happen if we take a bight of rope and twist it to form a loop.

4. AN OVERHAND LOOP

Depending on which direction we twist a bight to form a loop, we will either end up with an overhand loop or an underhand loop. An overhand loop is created when the working end of the rope lies over the top of the standing part.

5. THE INTERLOCKING ELBOWS

Interlocking elbows occur when a bight of rope is twisted twice to form two crossing points. Knots such as the Alpine Butterfly are tied by firstly forming interlocking elbows.

6. AN UNDERHAND LOOP

If the standing part of the rope lies over the top of the working end, then an underhand loop is formed. An underhand loop is the opposite of the overhand loop.

7. THE STANDING PART

The standing part is the length of rope, cord or twine that lies between the working end and the standing end. If we were to abseil or rappel down a rope, we would attach to and descend down the standing part.

8. THE STANDING END

The standing end is the opposite of the working or tag end of the rope. When abseiling or rappelling this would be the end of the rope that we send down to the ground or landing point. Never forget to tie a stopper knot near the standing end, even if the ropes do touch the ground or landing point.

9. TURN

This is one round of a rope on either a pin or cleat.

10. LASHING

The arrangement of ropes used to secure different items together.

11. FLAKE

This refers to the number of turns in a coiled rope.

12. HITCH

This is a knot that attaches a rope to an object

13. JAMMING KNOT
