An icicle hitch

A particularly simple icicle hitch, suitable for hanging an object from a smooth vertical pole.  Is this *the* famous icicle hitch that supposedly grips even a smooth vertical pole that tapers downward?

It cannot be. If you add another hitch around the pole with the bitter end, you get the camel hitch which appears in Ashley Book of Knots as # 215 and # 1741.
