1. attributive. Of, relating to, or designating a technique for ascending or descending a climbing rope by means of two or more continuous loops, each attached to it by a special knot.Each loop is attached to the rope by means of a knot which tightens when weight is applied and slackens when it is removed, thus enabling the loop to be moved up or down the rope as required, or to be locked on to the rope in order to support the weight of the climber.

1937 E. A. M. Wedderburn Alpine Climbing vi. 101 By employing the Prusik method he [sc. a man who has fallen] may be able to get himself out of a crevasse unaided.

1955 M. E. B. Banks Commando Climber v. 83 We..moved on carefully, realising that, despite Prussik slings, rescue operations are extremely difficult.

1956 R. C. Evans On Climbing vii. 105 Each person in the party should have two Prusik loops (nine-foot lengths of Italian hemp cord spliced to make a rope ring).

1992 W. Unsworth Encycl. Mountaineering (ed. 3) 261 The climber..takes the strain off his waist or chest by standing in his prusik loop. He then attaches two more prusik loops to the rope: a short one for under the armpits and another long one for his other foot.

2. prusik knot n. a knot made by passing a loop of rope around another rope in such a way that the knot tightens when weight is applied and slackens when it is removed.Now largely superseded by the jumar (jumar n.) and similar mechanical devices.
