	Munter hitch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The half hitch, also known as Italian hitch or Münter hitch, is a simple knot, commonly used by climbers and cavers as part of a life-lining or belay system.
		The hitch is simply a set of wraps using a rope or cord around an object, generally a round object like a pipe, pole or more common, a carabiner.
		The carabiner is mounted on an anchor with the rope going through it, which requires someone to stay by the anchor to operate the Münter hitch or alternatively the rope is attached to an anchor point and the Münter is attached to the load, or the person, descending.
