Proper training and experience is mandatory - practice with your system before working with live loads. The difference in diameter between the main line and your Prusik loop diameter should follow the general rule of a 60-80% ratio. 8mm cord is best suited for 1/2"" rope. We recommend you practice your prusik application prior to actual field use - all prusik or accessory cords are not compatible with all mainline or belay rope."
