    The photo isn't clear enough for my satisfaction. It doesn't appear to have 13 wraps. A hangman's noose is very distinctive. Does that knot even slide? No non-sliding knot can be called a "noose". In the two pics, the rope appears to be the exact same length, so that "noose" probably won't slide if a burly 200 pound man jerks on it for all he's worth.
