Sterling 6.8mm HollowBlock2 Loop - natural 13.5"

The Sterling 6.8mm HollowBlock2 Loop is a pre-sewn 13.5-inch friction hitch in the natural color for climbers, arborists and rescue teams who want a ready-to-use prusik without tying their own. It is made from Technora aramid fiber, which raises abrasion resistance and overall durability compared with nylon or polyester cord.

Its grip comes from a hollow-braid construction, so it bites securely when tied as a prusik or Klemheist knot on a rope. Sterling recommends it for ropes of 7 mm or larger. Because the loop is sewn rather than knotted, there is no bulky tail and the loop length stays consistent.
