Line 42:

'''Steps description''': start with a rope through the carabiner which is attached to your harness. Take a ~~bite~~ of a rope (1) and create a loop (2). Then you open the carabiner gate (3) and seat the loop into the carabiner (4). Screw the safety-lock (5), inspect that everything is correct (6) and pull the break-strand (7) to test if the munter hitch flips into another munter as a final check.

== Tie-off - Mule overhand ==

This is the most recognized method to tie-off the mule overhand to set your hands free. The tie-off consists from a slipknot and then overhand knot, both of which are tied around the life end of the rope. As both of these knots are tied with a ~~bite~~ and rope is also pulled through the carabiner, it takes practice to be able to securely inspect the tie-off.

As both of these knots are tied with a bight and rope is also pulled through the carabiner, it takes practice to be able to securely inspect the tie-off.

Line 76:

'''Steps description''': If the knot is not in the correct position, give a bit of a slack first to flip the knot (1). Next create a loop (2) and move it behind the life end (3). Pull a ~~bite~~ of the belay end through the loop (4) effectively making a slipknot around the life end of the rope. Now grab the ~~bite~~ with a hand (5) and simultaneously take out slack out of the system while releasing the other hand (6), note that the break strand is always hold during this step. Pull the ~~bite~~ through the carabiner (7), increase is size if necessary for the next steps. Secure the tie-off by making an overhand around the life end of the rope (8,9).
