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.

At last he swallowed some which tied
Itself in ugly Knots inside.”
