The Prusik Hitch is a friction hitch used to attach a loop of cord to a rope. It grips firmly when loaded and slides freely when tension is released. It’s widely used in rope-rescue systems for progress capture, backup in rappelling, and ascending fixed ropes. The hitch works in both directions and performs best when the cord is 60–80% of the rope’s diameter. Simple, strong, and reliable—the Prusik remains one of the most essential knots for firefighters, rescuers, and climbers. #prusikhitch #kn
