"Since first sampling the product in New Zealand three years ago, Armor Prus has become an important part of our climbing system. As a climbing prusik, the cord performs brilliantly, when tied correctly it is reliable and runs well on modern double braid climbing lines. The 10mm version has proven itself as a superior foot lock line due to its static nature and high grip. At the world comps in 2010, the footlock comp was won on 10mm Armor Prus, with several other climbers recording PB's on the rope also. The only problem with Armor Prus is that other climbers always want to 'borrow' some -- piss off, get your own!" -- Grant Cody, Australian Champion Tree Climber.
