Clove Hitch

The clove hitch is typically used for fastening some rope to a carabiner. It is commonly used to fasten a climber to an anchor during a multi pitch climb.

  • Loop around a carabiner, cross the middle over, and thread the free end under the middle in the opposite direction of the first strand.

The clove hitch is easy to confuse with a munter hitch. Test it before relying on it!
