THE EVER YTHING KNOTS BOOK
Icicle Hitch
John Smith of Surrey, England, first demonstrated the Icicle Hitch by
using it to suspend his weight from a tapered wooden fid that was
hanging point-down from the ceiling. Like finger cuffs, this hitch will
shrink to grab strongly, then loosen easily when the strain is taken off.
1 Start with a good length of running end and make a crossing
shown here.
2 Cross the running end to the left and behind the pole.
