Description
- Prusik cords are the unsung heroes of a rope system. When it comes to rope rescue operations, high-angle scenarios, or confined space extractions, few tools are as versatile and underappreciated as the prusik cord. These small loops of rope may not look like much, but they are a cornerstone of modern rescue systems, offering friction, redundancy, and control exactly when and where it matters most.
Why Rescuers Trust Prusik Cords
-
Simplicity: No moving parts. Easy to rig in low-light or high stress environments.
-
Redundancy: When used in tandem or double-wrapped, prusiks provide multiple layers of reliable friction.
-
Lightweight & Compact: Easily stowed in a gear pouch or clipped to a harness—ready when you need it.
-
Reliable Grip: Bites down hard under load, but can be released without cutting or complex maneuvers.
Applications:
- Tandem Prusik Belay
- Progress capture in a haul system
- Load transfer
- Pick off
- Emergency Ascending
- High strength anchors in a basket configuration
