Accessory Cord - 6mm

An accessory cord is a lightweight and thinner rope used in climbing and outdoor activities. It's perfect for tasks like tying knots, creating prusiks, or securing gear. Beyond climbing, you can use it for camping, hiking, or any situation where you need a reliable cord. Its versatility makes it a must-have for outdoor enthusiasts.

A prusik knot is essential for climbers as it allows you to ascend or descend a rope safely. To tie it, wrap a smaller loop of rope around the main climbing rope and then pass it through itself. This knot slides in one direction but locks in the other, providing a secure grip. Mastering the prusik knot is crucial for safety in climbing and rescue operations.

A haul system is a setup that uses pulleys and ropes to lift heavy loads, such as gear or a climber who can't ascend on their own. You would need a haul system in rescue scenarios or when transporting equipment in difficult terrains. It makes lifting easier by providing mechanical advantage, ensuring safety and efficiency.

To tie down a tarp or tent, use sturdy knots like the taut-line hitch or bowline to secure the corners to stakes or trees. This prevents them from being blown away by wind or shifting due to movement. Properly securing your shelter is vital for protection against the elements during outdoor activities.
