Edelrid PES Cord 5mm Cord

The PES Cord 5 mm is our go-to cord for tying Prusik knots, which are needed, for example, when constructing mechanical advantage pulley systems. Prusik, what? A Prusik is a friction hitch that works like a loop: under load it grips tightly, without load it can be easily slid along the rope. It's commonly tied with accessory cord, as this is particularly robust and durable. Recommended and extensively tested by Bijan, our Whitewater Rescue Technician Guide — you'll find this cord in every PFD of the S2S team! Sold per metre!
