Ok maybe a dumb question but here goes....I understand the knot goes through loop and you tighten rope around tree then move knot up once hooked onto your harness...but what keeps the rope tight around the tree? The knot holds tight no doubt but if a fall occurred what keeps the rope from sliding down the tree? I'm stumped or over thinking this one.
