from 🟠Petzl 🇫🇷: - Belaying the leader from the anchor with a Munter hitch

To prevent the belayer from being pulled into the wall if the leader falls (for example, when there is a significant weight difference between the climbers or a risk of a fall at the start of the pitch), the leader can be belayed using a Munter hitch attached directly to the fixed anchor.

In this Petzl Tip, we show you how to belay using this method.

To learn more about this technique, be sure to read our tech tip on which belay system to use from the anchor.
