VOLCANO 10 mm Prusik
VOLCANO 10 mm Prusik is a pre-sewn prusik loop developed for arborists and climbers who have high demands for wear resistance and heat resistance. The special construction with 50% aramid and 50% polyester provides significantly better resistance to heat and friction than traditional prusik cords.
VOLCANO is particularly well suited for friction hitches such as Prusik, Machard, and other self-locking hitches. The aramid fibers withstand high heat generation from repeated loading and friction, which reduces the risk of melting and extends the lifespan compared to regular accessory cords.
Both ends are sewn with factory-made splices, providing a compact, strong, and ready-to-use solution without the need for tying.
We offer VOLCANO 10 mm in 70 cm and 90 cm, so you can choose the right length for your climbing system and desired friction hitch.

Benefits of aramid
The aramid fibers in VOLCANO provide very high resistance to heat generation from friction. This makes the loop well suited for demanding use where regular prusik cords can be subjected to increased wear or melting. The result is a more durable prusik with stable performance over time.
