WHAT DOES BUTTERFLY KNOT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

butterfly knot

Butterfly loop

The butterfly loop, also known as lineman's loop, butterfly knot, alpine butterfly knot and lineman's rider, is a knot used to form a fixed loop in the middle of a rope. Tied in the bight, it can be made in a rope without access to either of the ends; this is a distinct advantage when working with long climbing ropes. The butterfly loop is an excellent mid-line rigging knot; it handles multi-directional loading well and has a symmetrical shape that makes it easy to inspect. In a climbing context it is also useful for traverse lines, some anchors, shortening rope slings, and for isolating damaged sections of rope.

Definition of butterfly knot in the English dictionary

The definition of butterfly knot in the dictionary is a particularly resistant knot which resembles a butterfly and can take loads on both ends, as well as on the loop.
