6 mm Auto Block type_climbing ropes a new snow and iceIdeal as a back up while on long rappels, we constructed our AutoBlock from a durable 6 mm cord sewn into a 13. 5 inch loop. The AutoBlock attaches from the harness to the brake hand end of the rappel rope just below the rappel device and works as a prusik or with a Klemheist knot.
