Sterling Rope’s larger cords have a very trustworthy sheath and formidable MBS which makes them exceptional for prusik cords, cordelettes, ice threads, and lightweight low-stretch fixing and hauling “tag” lines, but can also be used in non-life assurance functions such as dog leashes, towlines, or even as ornamental trim and cover.
Whether you’re backing up a descent, setting a friction hitch, or building a haul system, the Sterling 8 mm Prusik Cord is a must-have in your rope kit. Designed for strength, flexibility, and long-lasting performance, this accessory cord excels in both recreational climbing and industrial rope access environments.
This 100% nylon cord provides a balance of knotability and heat resistance that makes it ideal for prusiks, autoblocks, and tandem load applications. In fact, its 8 mm diameter is widely preferred by rope professionals who need a consistent bite on larger ropes, such as 11 mm lifelines.
For example, this cord is often used as a backup during rappel, or as part of a self-rescue setup—its versatility is hard to beat.
Sterling’s premium construction ensures abrasion resistance and smooth handling. Whether you’re in a rescue situation or performing a rope access maneuver, this cord is designed to perform under pressure. In addition, its minimal elongation keeps movement tight and controlled.
