Uses of a Munter Hitch:
- Belaying: Acts as a friction device for belaying climbers.
- Rappelling: Allows descent without a belay device.
- Emergency Rigging: Useful in rescue situations when other gear is unavailable.
- Lowering Loads: Helps control heavy loads in rope systems.
How to Tie a Munter Hitch:
- Pass a bight of rope through a locking carabiner.
- Twist one side to form a loop.
- Clip the loop into the carabiner.
- The hitch should slide freely but create friction when tension is applied.
