The most important attribute of a cord used for Prusik hitches is consistency in handling and diameter. Once you have determined the Prusik hitch that
works best on your host rope, you want the same performance every time you replace it. Our Prusik Cord has the right balance of suppleness for reliable
activation, but is not so soft that it wears out rapidly. Made of nylon with a torque-free, kernmantle construction, it comes in solid colors to help differentiate
between cords designed for Prusik hitches and climber’s accessory cords. Two color choices in both 7-mm and 8-mm diameters allow you to use a
separate color for each length Prusik in a Tandem Prusik Belay System. The 9-mm cord is the size preferred by rescuers who use cord for a load-releasing
hitch. Available by the foot or spool.
