POLDO TACKLE

This is universal and can be •
used at sea and in climbing
and camping. Poldo tackle is
a truly ingenious device;
thanks to the fact that it runs
on a closed loop, it is self-
locking.

Method
Make a bowline at one end of
a rope. Run the other end
through the loop of the
bowline; then tie the end on
itself with another bowline.
The photographs (1,2,3)
show the minimum and
maximum extensions of the
knot.
N.B. Man-made ropes should
not be used for this knot by
climbers.
