Rock Climbing Knots - Prusik Knot

A Prusik Knot is used in ascending a rope or as backup in abseiling. This knot is also useful in holding onto a vertical rope and hauling up load or another climber. Learn how to tie a Prusik Knot with the help of our animation and easy-to-follow steps.

Step 1:
Tie the working end and standing part together to form a loop. For added security, you can tie a Fisherman's or Double Fisherman's Knot to create the loop. Pass the knot around the rope.

Step 2:
Make a second turn around the rope and then pass the knot through the loop you made in Step 1.

Step 3:
Pull the knot to tighten.
