Stopper Knots

Stopper Knots are used for a variety of tasks, from holding up a shelf or
attaching a swing, to preventing the rope from unreeving from a block,
slipping through a Cam Cleat or running out of a belay/abseil device.
Similarly, they can also provide security to a knot by preventing the Tail
from pulling through. They are equally useful in providing handholds on a
rope that is being pulled or climbed.
