Description

Redesigned with a stronger aramid fiber, the Sterling 6.8 mm HollowBlock 2 loop is a friction hitch and autoblock that can be used as a prusik or Klemheist knot on ropes 7 mm or larger.

Features
  • Unique hollow-braid construction provides excellent gripping ability
  • Made of 100% Technora® fibers for increased abrasion resistance and improved durability
  • Same function and grip as the original, with a significant increase in durability and performance
  • 95% of the raw rope fibers at Sterling get made into finished products; remaining waste gets recycled or upcycled into non–life safety products
  • Send your used Sterling dynamic rope to the Sterling recycling department so the materials can get a second life; they also accept non-Sterling dynamic ropes
  • Rope manufacturing facility runs on 100% renewable energy
  • Sterling offsets 100% of their carbon emissions by purchasing carbon offsets from Climate Neutral and Arbor Day Foundation
