Cordelette vs accessory cord com Equalette: Typical top-rope setup on bolts or gear using a sewn-sling or cord. In general, it comes down to preference, I'd say. Oct 6, 2009 ยท The Cordelette was smaller in diameter than the accessory cord by 1mm, yet it was advertised to have a greater load rating than pre-cut accessory cord by about 300-400 lbs (in a single strand, not rated as in magic W formation by my interpenetration on both packages). Characterized by carabiners on separate strands, most often with limiting knots to each side. Advantages over Cordelette: Anchor is self-equalizing (meaning if you pull the load 20 degrees to the left, it's still going to distribute the weight between the two points). Accessory cord isn't spectacularly dynamic - a few percents of elongation maybe - and the rope is spectacularly dynamic. You can equalize an anchor just fine with a "dynamic" cordallete. To create one on the cheap it can be made from 7mm or thicker accessory cord (perlon) tied in a loop with a triple fisherman's knot (as for double fishermans , but with an extra stopper knot on each side). . The cordelette is just a large sling, 6 or so metres in length. See full list on rei. utlbmlqbuhpeyywgfctgidazdieatptrznmbrjemyfbuctkzbze
