to tie an

PRUSIK KNOT

The Prusik is oft used by climbers to help in ascending because of its ability to grip tightly and not slide when under a parallel load. I use this knot to contain stock animals when I'm camping. I tie the Prusik to a Highline and the animal's lead to the Prusik.

Safety:

Ropes and the knots associated with rope, can be dangerous. If improperly handled, or tied, ropes can kill and you could be the victim! Always use rope with care and  inspect and test any knots you tie. Respect ropes subject to a heavy load, especially your own climbing rope. The danger associated with ropes under load is often learned by painful experience.
