Sterling Hollow Block

A Prusik that Grabs!

The Sterling Hollow Block prusik loop is made from 100% super durable & heat resistant aramid fibre. The hollow braid ‘rectangular’ profile & flat surface of the material allows it to grip wet or dry rope extremely well. The Hollow Block will grip ropes from 7mm in diameter & upwards.

Features of the Hollow Block prusik include:-

• Available in two lengths 34cm(13.5”) and 48cm(19”) which allows for versatility of use; the prusiks can be used individually or together as a ‘tandem prusik hitch/belay’
• Can be rigged in all conventional prusik configurations (three wrap, klemheist, French, Bachmann etc)
• Extremely abrasion resistant due to the 100% aramid fibre construction
• Can be used in hauling systems, as a rappel self belay ‘auto block’ or countless other applications
• Extremely light & easy to carry
• Equally applicable in climbing, canyoning, rescue or rope access/rigging situations
• Made in the USA

What is great about the Hollow Block is that it is so light and compacts so nicely that you can have a few in you bag and forget about them until they’re needed. Imagine that you realise that you’re short of a rope grab out in the middle of nowhere, but you’ve got your handy Hollow Block stowed.
