Munter HitchMunter Hitch is used as an emergency rappel / belay device. Munter hitch offers more friction than a regular tubular belay device like the ATC, even in the non-braking position the munter hitch still offers some braking power. This can be an advantage (for example: belaying a heavy climber) or a disadvantage (for example: when fast feeding is required) depending on the situation. The biggest drawback to the munter hitch is that it twists the rope badly. Method 1Form a bight of rope with the strands crossed, then cross one strand over the other a second time.
Method 2When belaying a follower directly off the anchor using the munter hitch, it can be tied quickly with one hand. First, clip the rope into the belay biner.
