This design not only makes the cord more flexible and easier to handle but also enhances its overall durability. The flexible and easy-to-tie nature of the 8mm Accessory Cord allows users to create a wide variety of hitches and knots, such as prusik hitches for rappelling or pulley systems, double fisherman's knots to join two ends, and figure-8 on a bight to form an end loop. Additionally, the cord is compatible with main ropes of 3/8-1/2 inches, providing a secure grip.

Specifications-wise, the 8mm accessory cord has a diameter of 5/16 inch and is available in lengths of 20 feet, 50 feet, and 100 feet.

It's important to note that this 8mm accessory cord is not intended for use as a dynamic rope or a static rope that withstands impact force generated by a fall in climbing, rappelling, or other rope access activities. It is an EN564 accessory cord, designed for various outdoor recreational uses.

For cutting and sealing the cord, it is recommended to tightly bind the cut point with masking tape or regular electrical tape, use a sharp knife or a hot knife to cut through the cord, and then heat the cord with a lighter or candle to melt and self-seal the polyester fibers at the end. This process ensures a flat and neat cut without fraying.

It is a versatile and high-performance cord that can be used to create prusik cords, extending tethers, anchors, and practice knots. It can also be used to make rope swings for family fun.

GM CLIMBING conducts a strict annual inspection program to ensure the safety and durability of their 8mm Accessory Cord, which is both CE and UIAA certified.
