Munter Mule
The Munter Mule allows you to have better control of your rappelling—in
case you’re fond of doing that, because it allows controlled descents to
happen because it gains hold over the part of the rope that’s hanging. The
Munter Mule also makes use of a carabiner to keep things in place. This is
done to prevent the rope from chafing.

Instructions:
1. Make sure to let the rope pass through the carabiner.
2. Then, take the rope above and twist it into a loop so that you can
eventually hook it to the carabiner.
3. Make at least 2 loops and tie a slip knot to keep things secure.
4. Use a half hitch knot to tie everything together.
