      Terrible choice for Prussiks

            Comments about PMI 6mm Accessory Cord - Package of 52 ft.:

            I didn't realize that not all static cord was created equal until I purchased some of this to make prussiks to use for climbing (back up for rappels) and rope rescue rigging (attaching to a rope as a safety). This cord is so stiff that you have to spend about 30 seconds setting it by hand very carefully and painstakingly to make sure it grips (this is extra to the normal "tying" and dressing of a prussik). Otherwise, it will freely slide along the rope no matter what you are doing. I constantly worry about whether or not it will catch when necessary. It defeats the purpose of having it there - a properly set prussik should not require meticulous extra dressing to catch! In fact, I've seen prussiks of the same diameter but different brand that aren't terribly well dressed work. Don't get this cord unless you enjoy constant paranoia about your prussiks working when you depend on them for your safety.

            Comments about PMI 6mm Accessory Cord - Package of 52 ft.:

            Because it's strong and has a sheath to protect against fraying, I use this cord instead of webbing for my top rope protection, Tod Skinner back-up belay loop, rapelling autoblock/prusik, and tree lashings for my hammocks. It's a little thicker than the cord most people use for prusik loops, but I've enjoyed the extra security its additional thickness/strength allows and have found its additional weight marginal for my single pitch sport climbs.

            Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
