Noose
A noose is any loop that slides along the standing part, but holds firmly around it. This simple
noose is a useful way to attach a small line. It can be tied extremely quickly with practice, but is
secure enough for light loads.
Start with a loop, with the working end emerging from the bottom (1). Pull a bight from the
standing part through the loop (2). Pull on the standing part of the bight to create the size of loop
desired (3). Pull the loop further to tighten (4).
