Going up a rope 1: The Prusik hitch
Mountaineers use dozens of knots to scale
mountains, but if you’re just after a bit of fun with
the family, the classic Prusik knot is hard to beat. It
can also be used to make a cool bottle carrier (here).
1 Tie a short length of line into a loop using a double fisherman’s knot or
similar. Pass one of the loops through the other to make a girth hitch on
the climbing rope.
