Radium Release Hitch

                When you encounter technical or mechanical issues, you can use this knot
                to help you transfer load back to the main line, and to make sure that belay
                line would get some stoppage.

                Instructions:


                      1.  First, make a Figure 8 Loop and make sure to have it hooked to the
                          end of the carabiner.
                       2.  Let a loop pass through the carabiner, and then under the lower one.
                       3.  Now, make a super munter hitch near the top of the carabiner.

                       4.  Tie a half hitch and end the knot with an overhand knot.
