Knot Tying – Munter Hitch

A Munter hitch, also known as a Italian hitch, is a simple and versatile knot used for belaying and rappelling in rock climbing. It can be used with a variety of rope diameters and doesn’t put excessive wear on the rope.

In the lineman world, we use it in rigging purposes! It’s very easy to tie and un-tie. And will be used as a burn knot (as climbers will use it). Just used it in a different application!
