Edelrid Hard Line Accessory Cord - 6 mm

Edelrid Hard Line Accessory Cord - 6 mm

The Edelrid Hard Line Accessory Cord - 6 mm is a 6 mm (0.2 in) accessory cord with an HMP core and a polyester sheath, rated to a 23 kN minimum breaking force. That is anchor-building strength from a cord that weighs 24 g/m. It is certified to EN 564 as accessory cord, not as a climbing rope.

Features and Benefits

The HMP core is where the strength and the cut resistance come from. High modulus polyethylene carries far more load per millimetre than nylon. A 6 mm (0.2 in) cord reaches 23 kN and holds up where it runs across an edge.

Additionally, the polyester sheath does the work the core cannot. It shields the fibres from grit and UV, gives your hands something to grip, and holds knots more securely than a bare high-modulus cord would on its own.

Moreover, at 24 g/m a long length costs you almost nothing on the harness. That makes it practical to carry enough for a full anchor equalisation, a couple of prusik loops and a spare, rather than rationing what you bring.

Product-Specific Use Cases

Use Edelrid Hard Line Accessory Cord - 6 mm to equalise anchors and build rappel stations on the limestone around Wadi Bih and Hatta, where bolted belays run out and you finish the job yourself. Tie prusik loops from it for self-rescue practice, and keep a length for threading the natural hourglasses that the Hajar rock produces. One point worth stating plainly, this is accessory cord and it is not rated to take lead falls.
