Description
xDesigned for rugged canyoneering with a focus on durability
Developed with input from Rich Carlson of the American Canyoneering Academy, the BlueWater Ropes 8mm VT Prusik is built to perform in demanding canyon environments. A bold Technora aramid sheath protects a sturdy nylon core, providing heat resistance and long-lasting resilience when rope techniques meet rock, grit, and abrasion.
What makes it stand out
The kernmantle construction preserves its cross section and prevents binding during prusik maneuvers, helping you maintain control under tension. The outer sheath is bar-tacked with our custom Technora thread, delivering dependable strength for repetitive use.

- Length: 83 cm (33")

Real-world uses and benefits
