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.
