CLIMB RIGHT 5/16″ X 30″ EYE TO EYE SEWN PRUSIK ROPE
$34.99
The Climb Right 5/16″ x 30″ Eye-to-Eye Sewn Prusik is a specialized friction hitch cord designed primarily for arborists and rope access technicians. It is engineered to provide a reliable grip on climbing lines while remaining easy to “break” or slide once the tension is released.
Common Uses
-
Friction Hitches: Used to create adjustable attachment points on a climbing line.
-
Mechanical Advantage: Often used in pulley systems or “litter” hauls in rescue scenarios.
-
Work Positioning: Allows climbers to move fluidly up and down their main line while maintaining a secure “stop” point.
Description
Technical Specifications
-
Diameter: 5/16 inch (approx. 8mm).
-
Length: 30 inches (measured from eye to eye).
-
Construction: Typically features a braided polyester or Technora cover over a durable core, designed for high heat resistance and durability.
-
Ends: Precision sewn “eyes” (loops) at both ends, which eliminates the bulk of manual knots and ensures maximum strength at the connection points.
Key Features
-
Heat Resistance: The outer sheath is often built to withstand the high friction temperatures generated during rapid descents or heavy tensioning.
-
Consistency: Because the eyes are factory-sewn, the length is exact every time, ensuring your hitch (like a Schwabisch or Distel) performs predictably.
-
Compatibility: The 5/16″ (8mm) diameter is specifically optimized for use on 7/16″ (11mm) to 1/2″ (13mm) climbing ropes, providing the ideal “bite” ratio.
-
Compact Profile: The sewn terminations are covered with clear heat-shrink tubing, protecting the stitches from abrasion and allowing for easy inspection of the thread integrity.
Safety Note: Always inspect the stitching and the sheath for glazing, fraying, or stiffness before each use. Friction cords are “wear items” and should be retired if they show signs of excessive heat damage or core exposure.
