Used to tie various friction hitches (VT, Distel, Schwabisch, Prusik) and to be incorporated in SRT, DDRT climbing systems, mechanical advantage pulley systems in tree care, arborist, rigging, hauling, caving, canyoneering, crevasse rescue. Can generate firm bites on ropes of 8~12.5 mm (5/16 to 1/2 inch).
  • HEAT RESISTANT FRICTION Hitch Cord made of 100% Technora sheath, aramid yarn produced by Teijin (other aramid yarn trade names like Twaron, Kevlar by different manufacturers) that offers high resistance to heat damage up to 923°F/500°C. Technora can withstand massive heat which even burns out general nylon/polyester sheath, particularly in fast descents.

  • Easy to tie, dress and untie various hitch knots (VT, Distel, Schwabisch, asymmetrical/symmetrical Prusik). When hitches onto ropes under load, due to the unique braid, the hitch cord tends to flatten and gives a tight bite on a wide range of ropes 8~12.5 mm (5/16 to 1/2 inch).
