The most basic and generally the beginners friction hitch. 99% of climbers start using this 100% would be able to tie a prusik The simpliest most versatile knot in the Arb industry Foolproff Easy to tie Easy to identify as tied correctly Bomb Proof Although I thought it was spelt prussic:confused1:

has been known to be tied wrong some use the yosemity tie off but thats even worse if not tied correctly DOES need a stopper knot I find it easy to undo and use it when either using the other end of a rope or on a rope with no splice
