Review on πŸ§— Essential GM CLIMBING 8mm (5/16in) Accessory Cord Rope: Durable Double Braid, CE/UIAA Certified by Jesse Stewart

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good Line Prusik - Rope

Good Line Prusik. I am pleased with the performance of this 8mm line when weaving Prusiks. I've found it works even with two turns instead of three, although I've chosen never to do this. It's very stiff so it takes more effort to tie the knot than with the softer rope that came with the HSS hunter belay system that I bought and converted for forest climbing. Charges and discharges well. Advantages. The rigidity prevents unwanted rope snagging when used as a failsafe climbing or belay device such as Petzl Patina or Petzl PiranaCons. Sometimes it can be difficult to get him to grab the rope initially. Of course, if you fall it will grab, but for positioning purposes this isn't ideal. A more flexible rope is better if you load and unload frequently.
