Icicle Hitch

More grip than the Rolling Hitch (see pp.176–77).
Good for use on slippery surfaces.
For additional grip, add extra turns at
the start of the knot.
Ensure that the first series of turns
are locked under the diagonal turn.
For increased security, hold the line
with your hand as strain is applied.
