Bachmann’s Buttonhole knot is an early 1960s variation of the
Bachmann Ring Knot,
which is itself a semi-mechanical version of the Hedden
Knot. I think the original Hedden was better, since the bulky
figure eight loop interferes with the knot’s operation.
The Simple Buttonhole is
a related knot tied with a single strand.

Note: The performance of any ascending knot depends on the diameter, material, construction, and condition of both the main line and the ascender knot sling material. It may also depend on exactly how one ties the knot. Your knot’s performance can easily differ from mine. |
