How to use a prusik cord for rappel backup?

Wrap the prusik cord around your main climbing rope using an auto-block knot. Attach the loop to your harness belay loop with a locking carabiner. This setup adds friction and helps stop unwanted downward movement during rappels.

What makes this climbing sling different from standard loops?

Unlike basic nylon slings, the AscendPro 5.5mm loop uses a Technora Aramid core for superior heat resistance and strength, making it ideal for repeated friction-based applications like rappelling.

Is the AscendPro cord suitable for backup during double rope descents?

Absolutely. This prusik cord functions efficiently on single and double ropes, offering climbers added control and confidence in varied descent scenarios.
