Rope walks into a bar. Bartender says GTFO we don’t serve ropes here! Rope leaves, ties himself up and rustles his hair. Rope renters the bar and the bartender yells “ I thought I told you we don’t serve ropes here!” Rope says “I’m a frayed knot.” |

Learn how to belay with a munter and rappel with biners so you don't have to carry extra ATC/Grigri. Not exactly a knot but good for anybody to know |

I've had the bunny ears knot recommended to me as a good non-welding knot for fixing the rope, but I haven't used it much for that. |
