Petzl Accessory Cord - Prusik Cord 6 mm

The Petzl Accessory Cord Prusik Cord 6 mm is a slim static cord designed for use in mountaineering and rope work. Its primary role is to form Prusik loops or serve as a lightweight backup line on climbing and alpine routes.

With a 6 mm diameter and static construction, this cord offers low stretch and reliable grip on larger ropes, making it easier to tie secure friction hitches and adjust positioning on rope systems. Its slim profile keeps bulk to a minimum, so it packs down small in your harness or pack but still delivers the hold you need when hauling gear, backing up anchors, or setting up self-rescue systems.

Being a static rope means this cord has very little elongation under load, so Prusik knots lock firmly without slipping and release smoothly when you slide them along the main line. The 6 mm thickness strikes a balance between enough surface area for solid friction and minimal weight for efficient climbing and mountaineering setups.
