How do you knot the end of a rope on abseil? 27-Oct-2010 At 7:06:18 PM Richard Delaney

There is prussik cord and prussik cord.
I have several sets of 8mm lovely soft cord (blue water I think) which never has any problem.
I have used these for every situation from very light loads to 250kg rescue loads in Vertical Rescue contexts.
Many organisations rightly claim that double 8mm 3 wrap classic prussiks make by far the best rescue belay device - and they certainly do not compromise safety for heavy loads.
Prussik loops and knowledge of their diversity of use should be one of a climber's fundamental tools.
