BlueWater Ropes VT Prusik features a super tough heat resistant Technora aramid sheath over durable nylon core strands. Perfect for rope rescue, tree climbing, and canyoneering use. The core in this kernmantle design keeps the VT from flattening and binding up. A computerized large gauge sewing machine is used to bar tack a devilishly strong stitch with our custom Technora thread. This thread / stitch combination yields superior strength and overall durability. Manufactured in the U.S.A. from Domestic and Globally sourced raw materials.

The VT Prusik is a very versatile open-end Prusik. Use it to tie:

• Symmetric Prusik
• Asymmetric Prusik (Schwabisch/Distal)
• Valdotain Tresse
• French Prusik

The VT performs well when used for ascending, self-belay while rappelling, as a traveling rope grab or in conjunction with a Prusik minding pulley in haul systems.
