The Munter Hitch

       There is a checkered history behind the Munter hitch,
       and its original source is in some historic dispute.
       Whether Werner Munter invented the hitch or merely






















       To tie the Munter hitch, create a loop of rope.

















       Form a second loop right beside the first one in exactly
       the same manner, which will result in the working and
       standing ends of the rope on opposite sides of a biting
       strand.
