Stopper Knots
- Stevedore knot (aka Double figure eight)
- The Stevedore knot is tied at the end of a rope to prevent the end from unraveling, slipping through another knot, or passing back through a hole, block, or belay/rappel device. It is more bulky and less prone to jamming than the closely related figure-of-eight knot.
- Overhand knot
- The Overhand knot is a component of many knots used in climbing.
- Monkey's fist
- The Monkey's Fist is used to tie the end of a climbing rope into a tight ball so the rope can be thrown farther/easier.

Famous quotes containing the word knots:
“Our sea-walled garden, the whole land,
Is full of weeds, her fairest flowers choked up,
Her fruit-trees all unpruned, her hedges ruined,
Her knots disordered, and her wholesome herbs
Swarming with caterpillars.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
