Bluewater Ropes 7mm Brown VT Prusik (7568606)

Works perfectly on my 10mm ropes.

The VT prusik is different from a standard prusik cord in that it can be loaded and still slid easily. For rescue work or tree work it is a must have. I would even recommend this as a back up above your device for rappelling with a heavy load. The stitching is done right, and it seems very well built. 10-1 safety rating with MBS of 2500 lbs SWL 250 lbs. Don’t cheap out on life safety equipment (yes you can find other brands from questionable suppliers cheaper), buy quality and don’t question if it will be good enough. This is truly the right tool for the job.

I'll be using this with a Knut hitch on my hunting saddle when doing SRT tree climbing. This rope is nice and soft, Very easy to tie prusik hitches with. Its about the perfect length for a knut hitch above my ascender. Great rope for a secondary safety lock in case my mechanical ascender fails for some reason.

Every rigger should own one of these. Thank you good seller!

If you're looking for a rappel backup or a progress capture on a hauling system, this is the way to go. SO much better than a standard 3-wrap prusik. Super light and extremely versatile - can be tied in a half dozen different ways, depending on what you're familiar with. I'd personally recommend learning the "XT prusik" version and using that configuration.

High quality cord. Bluewater ropes are good to go. Expensive but works great. VT are the way.

I used the Bluewater Ropes VT Prusik for tree work. I use different climbing lines for different situations; but I typically use 8mm Bee-Line eye to eye tails/ prusiks for the climbing system. However, I have used an Aramid prusik in the past and I was very impressed. This VT Prusik was no exception. I have been using it for several weeks now and and it has not even begun to glaze. Of course I don't make a habit of burning out of tree canopies either. But that time includes setting chokers on a half dozen crane removals and the prusik remains flawless. The outer layer is soft yet strong and of course resilient to high heat. It knots easily and maintains its shape well. It grips the climbing line like a vice yet releases easily with moderate downward force. I should mention that I do not use the VT knot. Instead I swap between the Michoacan and the Distel and have excellent results. Pros: -Resilient to high heat (keep it clean) -Large Eye holes (easily accepts carabiner) Cons: The heat shrink portion (at the eyes) is very long and makes tying difficult. As a matter of fact, I had trouble completing the VT knot. But this is just a nuisance and not a deal breaker.

I use these for High Angle Rescue. These are much more versatile and useful than standard prusiks. A great tool to have on your harness.

Buena calidad, en especial para hacer nudos auto bloqueantes en cuerdas mojadas, como en Valdostano
