Prusik Knot
One of the oldest knots around—having been discovered in 1931—the
Prusik Knot will help you climb where you want while using a rope. The
first knot could be used for ascending, and the second one will help you sit
—which is why this knot is also often used for rescue purposes.
Instructions:
1. First, get some cord that you have already looped.
2. Then, let the knot pass through the rope at least thrice so you could
form a better loop.

3. Let the turns come together nicely so you’d have an easy time pulling
the knot tight.
