The Munter Mule is used to secure a munter. It is also used to escape or lock a loaded line in place with the excess rope.

Take a bite of rope from the excess, make a small loop, pass a bite of rope from the same line through the small loop, and finish securing by wrapping that excess around the load line with an over hand knot (or half fisherman’s knot).

Use a larger locking carabiner to allow the hitch to be inverted thru the carabiner when pulled. Make sure to tie off the end of the munter mule snug with an overhand or half fisherman’s knot to avoid it from slipping or coming undone when loaded.

The Munter Hitch Knot is often used to descend a rope through a locking carabiner or belay a second in situations when a different device is not available. For example, you accidentally dropped your rappel or belay device.

A larger carabiner is recommended to allow the hitch to invert through the carabiner when pulled. The load end should always be on the carabiner’s spine side (not the gate side).

Learning and practicing this knot can be of essence the day an emergency comes along and you end up at the top of a formation without a belay/rappel device.
