Make sure the double fisherman’s knot isn’t slipping and the cord isn’t abraded. Check your prusik cord for wear and tear regularly. If conditions exist to cause one to slip or fail, the likelihood is that the other prusik would not fail under the same conditions. If using prusiks in conditions where they might fail (e.g prusiking up a wet or icy rope), it’s better to use two different types of friction hitch (and a full strength back-up, of course). ![]() Don’t use a sling for anything except a prusik after using it once as a prusik. A narrow nylon sling is better than dyneema (spectra). Slings don’t work quite as well but it’ll help you get out of a tricky situation. If you don’t have a prusik cord, you can use a sling instead. Before using any prusik knot, test it to see that it grips and releases well. The number of wraps should be increased or decreased depending on the cord stiffness, cord diameter and moisture conditions, with three wraps as a minimum. This will greatly decrease the knot’s effectiveness. Make sure not to wrap the double fisherman’s bend into any friction hitch. Always have a back-up so you’re attached to the rope ‘properly’. Prusiks are not full-strength attachment points. ![]()
