# Items in Your Cart:Bulk Prusik Cord
(Click here for Eye to Eye Prusik Cords)
We carry a great selection of prusik cord for tying friction hitches here. We are constantly brining in new prusik cords to add to our selection. Prusiks have a number of uses, including controlling a climber's descent, backing up a figure 8, and adjusting fliplines. The Tree Climber’s Companion and On Rope are two great books that contain information on using prusiks for climbing and work applications.
All prices and quantities on this page are for a single foot of bulk cord.
