Symmetric Prusik, Asymmetric Prusik (Schwabisch/Distal), Valdotain Tresse, French Prusik
Available in store
CloseBlueWater Ropes 7mm VT Prusik was designed to be used on smaller diameter ropes. This specialty design features super tough, heat resistant Technora aramid sheath over durable nylon core strands. The core in this kernmantle design keeps the VT from flattening and binding up. A computerized large gauge sewing machine is used to bar tack a devilishly strong stitch with our custom thread. This thread/stitch combination yields superior strength and overall durability. Manufactured in the U.S. from Domestic and Globally sourced raw materials.
The VT performs well when used for ascending, self-belay while rappelling, as a traveling rope grab or in conjunction with a prusik minding pulley in haul systems.
Overall length: 33″
Tensile Strengths:
End to end: 2,500 lbf.
Basket: 5,000 lbf.
This is the cat's meow of rappel backup! Recommended to be setup above your belay device in VT configuration. On icy ropes, beats anything out there because your rappel device breaks the ice away first therefore your backup prussik can do its intended job.
Setup with a pulley system, it can be minded effectively. Watch the Rich Carlson video. Very educational!
Thanks for bringing these into the shop Ben!
