            As others have noted, this cord is too stiff to be good general-purpose accessory cord for climbing.

                Bought the 30' package to use as a friction hitch on 1/2" Arborplex. (Need to trim trees).. Neither a 4 wrap Blake's nor 6 wrap Prussik will hold. The only hitch that (so far) will hold is a 6 or 7 wrap Helical. The cord is far too stiff for easily wrapping a hitch. Will have to look at either a different Mfg. or a pre-made split-tail.

                  Comments about PMI Accessory Cord - 6mm:

                  Bought some of this (both red and blue) to teach our four and five year-olds some basic knots. It works wonderful for that. Easy to see while tied up, flexible, easy to untie.

                  At first it was not so flexible, but after working it for a bit. It's just wonderful.

                  I would not say that the stiffness is a con, since almost all rope has to be worked a bit to become flexible as it was designed to be.

                  Prusics are OK with this stuff. But, I prefer to use the Klemheist hitch with it.

                    Comments about PMI Accessory Cord - 6mm:

                    I bought the packaged version of this cord, but I noticed that this by-the-foot stuff still had a good review.

                    I also bought this for autoblocking and prusiks, but the cord is TOO STIFF. It doesn't create any friction on the rope unless you wrap it at least 5 times around the rope, and then it locks too much and makes rappelling difficult.

                    The cord is also too thin to use for anchors (at least in my opinion), so I honestly don't know what it's good for.

                      I bought this cord for autoblocking my ATC belay. I tested it on some 8mm accessory cord and the friction knot bit without any problems. I haven't yet tried it on my 10.5mm climbing rope but if it will lock on 8mm it should do fine. Little pricy but its a good product.
