Abstract: A grip comprises a body (1) with an abutment and a suitably spring-loaded clamping jaw (3) which is movable relative to the body and which serves to clamp a rope (4) against the abutment so as to fix the grip in the desired position along the rope. The abutment consists of two thin clips or bands (7,7') which in their mounted state are spaced apart and are separately applicable to the rope (4) and subsequently connectible with the body on each side of the clamping jaw (3), while completely surrounding the rope.
