I have been slowly learning 2 knots and practicing them every weekend for the past 6 weeks. I wanted to ask how useful is the "tarp corner knot" in climbing and/or general outdoor activities? My local climbing gym 1 hour away includes a free 2-week membership if you pay $65 for their 90 minute beginner group lesson (capped at 6 climbing noobs) for people who have never climbed before, so I thought it might be useful for that maybe? Here is the link to a 10-second video showing the knot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_Fjq4xt68I
I've never had use for it personally. It's good for securing the corner (and only the corner) of a tarp with a blown grommet. I can't think of much in the way of other uses. Makes for a super cool social media video though - I'm itching to try it out.
