The Prusik Cord & Load Release Hitch Cord is designed to provide consistent handling, diameter, and strength for technical rescue, rope access, climbing, and rigging applications. Engineered specifically for friction hitches and load-releasing systems, this cord delivers dependable performance every time it is used or replaced.
Constructed from 100% nylon with a torque-free kernmantle design, the cord offers the ideal balance of suppleness and durability. It activates reliably in Prusik hitch applications while resisting premature wear during repeated use. Multiple diameter and color options allow rescuers to easily identify different cord lengths and configurations, making it ideal for tandem Prusik belay systems, load-releasing hitches, and general technical rescue operations. The 9 mm cord is the preferred size for many rescuers building Load-Releasing Hitch systems.
