On Canyoneering101.com you will find the following knots which I have deemed the "essentials".  They are easy enough that everyone in your group should be able to learn (aka memorize) them without too much difficulty.

​

Knowing these knots will give a solid technical skill foundation.  For re-emphasis, that's what the purpose is of this website.

​

There are more knots that you could ever possibly know, and  knowing 40 of them won't help you if you can't remember how to tie 10 of them precisely.

​

Essential Canyonering Knots:

• Overhand

​

You will find these on the Menu, under "Canyoneering Knots".  Each of them deserve their own page.

​

They contain step-by-step pictures on how to tie them, a video narration, and a .GIF format so that you don't have to keep pressing stop and play as you go along.
