Message definition (Munter hitch)

== Belaying ==
Always hold the break strand! Belaying with Munter hitch is reliable and reasonably comfortable. In works smoothly when not loaded, but provides plenty of friction to catch a fall once tensioned. It works at any angle of the brake strand. The main drawback is that if the rope is pulled through the hitch under load (for example during belaying of the second climber or during abseiling), it tends to tangle the rope, which is together with the rope abrasion the main reasons why it is now used only rarely.
