reesetee commented on the word blake's hitch
A friction hitch used by arborists and tree climbers as an ascending and descending knot. Althought stable and unslipping, it's often reinforced with a stopper knot (such as an overhand). It's preferred by many arborists over other hitches because it's less prone than most to binding.
