The Martin
is another arborist knot tied with a split tail. It has four wraps
and a tucked finish. It seems to work reasonably well, provided
one adjusts the knot to get the tails the proper length with respect
to each other.
Incidentally, the accent in "Martin" is on the second
syllable.

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. |
