A Prusik knot or triple sliding hitch is a friction hitch
used to put a loop of cord around a rope so that the rope
can be climbed. It's mostly commonly used in climbing,
canyoneering, mountaineering, and caving. [1] The Prusik is
a slide-and-grip knot and for best results, apply load
evenly in both directions. [2]
!! Steps !!
Take a cord (or Prusik loop) and form a bight underneath the rope
you want to append it to.
Loop the cord over itself and over the rope. Pull it through. Make
sure that the rest of the cord goes _inside_ the bight.
Repeat the previous step 3-5 times, depending on the thickness of
your cord.
When you're satisfied with your loops, bring the rope through the
bight one more time, but this time – instead of pulling the cord
through – tighten it. Pull it in various directions to add
tension to the rope:
Applying downwards tension allows the knot to keep tight.
No tension lets the knot slide loosely up and down the rope.
