GENERAL APPLICATIONS

•     Assistance in ascending a rope
•     Process capture in hauling/dragging/tensioning System
•     Back-up for belaying
•     Tandem rappelling
•     Self-rescue in emergency

Friction Hitch Knots

• Classic hitch knots for a loop or a sling to create friction and to grip on to another rope.
• It slides when not weighted and solidly lock around the rope when loaded.
• Note: Klemheist only lock in one loading direction.

Easy Operation

• Easy to tie, "clear" to inspect, fast to adjust during operation.
• Compared to mechanical grab, Prusik loop/sling features a much lighter weight and a compact profile.
• It does almost no damage to main ropes and a variety of hitch knots could be tied from for various functions.

Versatile and Powerful

• Commonly used in climbing activities, like abseiling, vertical rope ascending in the situation of emergency, escape the belay system, back up a rappel.
• Widely applied to capture progress on a moving rope, typically in pulley mechanical systems, to be tied into lanyards and create adjustable anchors, fliplines, etc.
