How to choose Prusik diameter?
- In most cases, the Prusik cord should be about 60% to 80% of the standing line (main rope) in diameter.
- Skinnier cords will have a too-tight bite, Thicker cords in opposite cant generate enough grip on the standing line and tends to slip.
- For safety, always take tests of the Prusik knot to slide and re-grab on the rope in safe places prior to using it at height.
