A work colleague of mine here in Texas who is a caver pointed out an
interesting website: http://tinyurl.com/mhq23. It's a well-done, even
cool website that not only clearly shows how a large variety of
climbing/caving knots should be properly tied, but also includes a bit
of history of specific knots, optional ways of (correctly) tying them,
equivalent/better knots and variations for specific purposes, and
warnings about how certain knots can be incorrectly tied and/or fail
in specific circumstances. (Ther e are also links to other pages and
sites with good info.) It seems to me that if not already being done,
this site could be useful in some vertical training programs for those
learning the ropes, so to speak, and otherwise serve as a
refresher/reference for the rest of us, whether one is doing the tying
or checking the knots of the person that does.
