The Klemheist Knot (Machard) Klemheist Fig. 51
(ABoK # 1762) This popular
Friction Knot was also used at sea,
however, it owes its present
reincarnation as a variation of the
Prusik Knot.

The Hedden Knot is the
inverse of the Klemheist,
it is reputed to be as
secure despite utilizing
considerably less wraps.

The Bachmann is
a variation of the
Klemheist that is
tied around a
Karabiner – its
function is to help
avoid jamming due
to over-tightening.

The Karabiner is
not to be used as a

handhold.
