A Prusik is a versatile tool primarily used as a rope grab to achieve progress capture in various rope systems, particularly in Mechanical advantage systems. Simply put, it's a thin piece of cord or webbing tied into a loop, often secured with a double fisherman’s knot. When attached to a thicker rope, the Prusik ensures it won't slide down under pressure.
