Method : Pass a continuous line around six anchorage points (1-3).The characteristic feature of this hitch is the twisted middle parts, which allow the slack to be taken up where necessary as the load shifts and strains.



History : The diamond hitch was used by nineteenth‑century North American wilderness trekkers and prospectors, amongst others.
