Alpine Butterfly or Linesman's Loop: The Alpine Butterfly provides a secure loop in the middle of a piece of rope. Strain can be applied from the loop to either end or between the two ends.

Australian Braid: The Australian Braid creates a loop on the end of the line. It is a called a 100% knot because the breaking strain is close to that of new, unknotted line. It is created by braiding or plaiting the line

Klemheist: The Klemheist is a Slide and Grip (friction) knot related to the original Prusik knot but designed to take strain in only one direction. When loaded it grips the climbing rope; with the load released it can easily be slid up or down.
