A rope in its natural state is a tool since it can be used to climb without modification . But its functionality can be enhanced by three types of alteration. These are;

  • Knots
  • Lashes
  • Splices

Knots are used to tie the rope to itself and objects.

Lashes are used to bind objects together, to reinforce, or to provide grips.

Splicing allows the single rope to be fixed to itself or other ropes or as a form of platting, allow the rope to encompass objects such as blocks tackle, barrels etc.
