BlueWater VT Prusik

This cord is designed specifically for ropes ranging from 8 mm to 9.5 mm in diameter. It is not suitable for ropes outside of this range, as it may not grip or release correctly.

Technora is highly heat-resistant, which is critical for friction hitches. When you rappel or ascend, the friction generates significant heat that can glaze or melt standard nylon cords; the aramid sheath helps prevent this degradation.

Yes. The open-end design is highly versatile and works well with a variety of friction hitches, including symmetric and asymmetric hitches, the Valdotain Tresse, and French Prusiks.

Absolutely. The kernmantle construction helps the cord maintain its round shape under load. This prevents the cord from flattening or binding, ensuring a smoother, more consistent release when you need to move the hitch.

It has a breaking strength of 2,500 lbf when used end-to-end and 5,000 lbf in a basket configuration. The computerized bar-tack stitching ensures these connection points are exceptionally durable and reliable.

Yes, it is a reliable choice for integrating into haul systems when paired with a pulley. Its durability and heat resistance make it well-suited for the repetitive friction and loading involved in hauling.
