The Half Hitch makes a very quick and temporary tie-off. It is also tied
as the first step of other more secure hitches. The slipped version unties
completely with just one pull.

ROLLING HITCH

The Rolling Hitch can be tied to a pole or to another rope. It provides a
friction grip to resist sliding if the pull is to the side with the round turn.
It works best when the pole or rope it is being tied to is twice or more
the diameter of the rope used to tie the hitch.

STEP 1 Start the hitch with a round turn.

STEP 2 Cross over and finish with a Half Hitch.
