Sterling Rope HollowBlock2™ Set
Sterling Rope HollowBlock2™ Set
They simplify the process of rigging aerial hammocks while preventing overloading of carabiners. This product is used as a friction hitch for all hammock rigging, offering significant advantages. Friction hitches leave an appropriate amount of material at the master point to be placed into the carabiner. In contrast, traditional silk rigging methods often involve tying silks directly into the carabiner, leading to overloading or off-axis loading. Such practices can create a false sense of security and may subject the carabiner to scrutiny when it fails to perform as designed.
The Sterling® HollowBlock2, a redesigned version of their bestselling friction hitch and autoblock, is now made with a stronger aramid fiber.
The 6.8 mm HollowBlock2 is constructed from 100% Technora® fiber, which enhances abrasion resistance and durability. Its gripping ability stems from its unique hollow-braid design, making it ideal for use as a prusik or Klemheist knot on ropes 7 mm or larger.
