Name: CMC Rescue Prusik Cord &
Load Release Hitch Cord
Manufactured by New England
Ropes
The most important attributes of a cord used for Prusik Hitches are
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. CMC Rescue 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 discriminate between cord
designed for Prusik Hitches and climber's accessory cords. Two color
choices in the 7mm and 8mm diameters allow you to use a separate color
for each length Prusik in a Tandem Prusik Belay System. The 9mm diameter
is the size preferred by rescuers that use a load releasing hitch.
Available by the foot or the spool.
Important Note on Prusik Hitches: The performance parameters of Prusik
Hitches used to belay rescue systems have received only limited
investigation through reproducible testing. Several questions remain
open such as the effects of wear, age, and other environmental
influences. If you decide to rely on a Prusik Hitch based system, it is
your responsibility to determine that the particular combination of
Prusik Hitch material (Prusik or accessory cord) and the host rope will
work reliably for your systems, level of training, and rescue
conditions.
Available by the foot or spool. Priced below by the foot. Note maximum
length available per spool.
