Animated Knots

This is the Blake's Hitch:

Blake's Hitch is a Friction, or Slide and Grip, hitch. It is used by arborists for ascent and descent. Like other Slide and Grip Knots, the strain should be taken on the line below the hitch. Blake's Hitch itself should not be used for traction because pulling directly on the hitch loosens it and allows descent - possibly out of control if unexpected.

Animated Knots by Grog. Very useful!
