## Description

desertcart.com : GM CLIMBING 8mm (5/16") Prusik Loop Pre-Sewn 18 inches : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Very nice and great buy! - Really nice cord for safety. It appears to be made very well with stitching and overall design. I feel confident that it will perform very well under a load. Size could be a little more generous but it functions very well. Tying a prusik knot is very easy and hold very well. I believe it's a lot of value for the money spent and a nice addition to my climbing / rappelling gear. Would certainly purchase this again.
Review: Great product - Perfect

## Features

- GM CLIMBING 8mm Prusik Loop, available in lengths of 18" and 24", yielding an MBS of 24kN /5400Lbs, and made of 100% high tenacity Polyester with CNC machine stitchings at joints. Used to tie friction hitches on the standing line of 11~12.5mm (7/16~1/2inch), such as prusik knot, autoblock, and Klemheist knot in mountaineering, climbing, canyoneering, caving, rope rescue, tree care by the arborist, rigging aerial hammock, lifting, and etc.
- Supple in handling, and double-braid constructed to be solidly round, it's easy to tie, dress and untie hitch knots (Prusik, Autoblock, Klemheist, etc) with this Prusik loop. When hitches around the rope, to have a good grip, the recommended diameter range of the standing line is 11~12.5mm / 7/16~1/2 inch.
- 24kN High Breaking Strength allows the Prusik loop to expand its areas from professional to general uses. CNC machine stitching of sewn joints keeps the loop neat and free from traditional bulky knots, whilst still withstanding high strengths; A heavy transparent heat shrink sleeve is applied around the stitching to protect it from abrading during use and allow you to easily inspect the stitching condition. That has the Prusik loop gain unbeatable durability and longer service life.
- Made of High Tenacity Polyester to increase performance in various aspects, to get higher tensile strength and excellent abrasion resistance. Low water absorption makes the Prusik loop highly adaptive to outdoor activities. Double braid - Core and Sheath rope construction - this “sturdy sheath” further enhances great abrasion resistance and guarantees long-life utilization.
- One of the most versatile gears added to your rack, compact and light, easy for carrying, convenient for a wide variety of uses, from ascending ropes, rappel or abseil backup, making tandem prusik belay in rescue, adjustable anchor set-up, to general recreational sports and activities, like rigging aerial yoga silk, hanging tarps and hammocks.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What would be the swl (safe working load) for this loop?**
A: Per tag on the loop 500 lbs . MBS 4500 lbs

**Q: Why use this over an eye to eye splice? Can you use a tending pulley with these? Prusiks are hard to unlock under load without one.**
A: If your prussik is under load then you need to unload it some how.  Yes you can use a prussik minding pulley with one.  I chose these as they are easier for people to remember what they are for and you don't have a knot in the way when you wrap the prussik.  We're primarily using them as a brake in the 3:1 system and to attach the mid-line pulley to the rope.  After setting up the 3:1, or "Z" rig, we pull the mid -line pulley which is behind the brake prussik and the minding pulley.  At the end of the haul,  when the two pulleys meet, we set the brake prussik, and slide the hauling prussik and pulley down to capture another stretch of line for hauling.  When that prussik is set,  a pull on the line relaxes tension to the set brake prussik.  The belayer either loosen the prussik or the prussik minding pulley slides it down the rope. If your ropes are icy, muddy, or wet prussiks may not be ideal and the problems must be solved another way, such as a second belay line, and anchoring the hauling pulley with knots to the section or rope to be hauled.  Good luck.  JH

**Q: Can you tie this in a schwabisch knot and stuff like that or does it only do prusik knot?**
A: You'll want a cord with a loop on each end or you'll want to tie your own loops.  This works only for Prussiks.  There is a good U tube video on the schwabisch knot.

**Q: Does a typical screwgate climbing carabiner go into the pre-sewn loop? Sorry, noob climber here.**
A: Unless you're using it in the basket configuration,  it's not strong enough. Needs at least 23 KN rating end to end to be considered strong enough

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product
*by M***N on December 1, 2025*

Perfect

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you are saddle hunting and use a me handicap ascender please buy one of these
*by W***Y on December 26, 2025*

Works very well. I bought it for an additional safety for my ropeman 1. On my tether as well as my lineman belt. We can never be too safe. I was saddle hunting before it was cool back around 2003. Saddles have changed a lot since then. Ascenders are mechanical and can break. Take an additional 10 seconds and attach another prusic.
