Salewa Ortles Master Cord 6MM Precut

The new Ortles Master rep cord sets new standards in alpine climbing and technical mountaineering: It combines a high breaking strength of over 15 kilonewtons (Kn) with high UV resistance and low weight. The hybrid construction combines robust polyamide in the sheath with a core of polyethylene, which has a high molecular weight (UHMW). The material - also known as high-strength PE for convenience - is lighter yet even stronger than steel and Kevlar. This combination provides exceptional strength yet excellent knotability. The pre-cut 6 millimeter reefing cord comes with sealed, rounded ends and can be used in a variety of ways as a prusik sling, for belaying, for rappelling as well as for threading hourglasses or setting up a pulley. The special Salewa color coding, which is also used in the Ortles Dyneema webbing sling, ensures easy handling: thanks to the uniform color system in green, blue, red and gray, the lengths are immediately recognized and correctly selected when climbing.
