When lowering while having the brake strand coming out on the karabiner gate side care should be taken in order to avoid the rope accidentally rubbing against it and opening it. I would recommend the knot tied in a way that the brake strand is coming out on the spine side of the karabiner.
Tomas Libutti Good point! you can also easily flip the carabiner after tying it the way I did. If it is a screw gate that would be a much better idea because you want the the gate to screw down so you don’t screw up. Lol One reason to leave it on the gate side is to be able to quickly go back to the normal munter for what’s ever situation. But with a heavy load this may not be possible because some lockers won’t open when heavily loaded. Great comment thanks!
The supermunter is reversible. You just need a bigger carabiner. A HMS for example. And you shouldn't run the brake strand over the gate. Even if it is autolocking.
Alex Milot absolutely.. I should have Demonstrated that 😅 the only issue you will have is room on your carabiner. You will need a large one, to fit all that rope. It’s best to have this knowledge is your back pocket and don’t forget your rappel device. 🤙🏻
You missed the opportunity to try show us how well you pronounce "halbmastwurfsicherung" if you can say that you're a better man than me! Which is abbreviated as HMS --> HMS/Pear shaped biners and means something like half clove hitch belay. I've belayed a lot with munters (not too bad to rope if not loaded) and if I have to use them I try to use an HMS biner if possible (which is what they're designed for).
So I just bought my first climbing rope and committed the deadly sin of uncoiling it improperly leaving it pretty twisted. Any tips on how to unfuck up my life, or am I damned to have a stiff goofed up rope forever?

@@BetaClimbers thanks to you for the video! Sharing is caring my friend! Keep that channel up and be safe! Cheers!
Been waiting for this video!
Damn, I never new about that benefit of the super munter!
Hey Josh. Thanks for the tip!
Simple and clear 😀👍
Is it a bird!? Is it a plane!? No it's SUPER MUNTER!!
Thank you, man!
Nice!

What harness were you using at the end of the video?
But they twist in the same direction. How can the super munter stop twists?
Can you do the super munter on 2 strands of rope ?
