Rope.—Much climbing in ski mountaineering may be free climbing; that is, without rope. However, on some steep unbroken cliffs, where exposure is great, the rope is necessary in party climbing. When rope is needed it is the climber's lifeline, and it should be cared for accordingly. When not in use, the rope should always be coiled in an approved manner. It should never be stepped on. For long carries, it may be placed over the neck and one shoulder in a diagonal chest carry, or twisted into a figure-eight and folded over in the pack. The climber cannot always know that the rope he is to use has been properly cared for. If being put to any demanding use, rope should be new or nearly new, resilient, and free from serious cuts or abrasions. Serious cuts should be finished with a knife at once; a mountaineering rope is never spliced.

Knots.— (1) The bowline is used for either end man on a rope. It is one of the easiest knots to untie after it has held a heavy load.
