Bouldering Pad for Sale, Hot new trail, and sketchy ropes...

Postby Danger » Wed Sep 29, 2010 9:40 pm

Firstly, got a crash pad for preferably trade/have to sell. Currently have one too many. So it's either the BD Drop Zone which has been well loved, or a not so loved/practically new Metolius pad. Will trade either for cam, or money towards cams...maybe $100 moneys.

Secondly, CNS crew et all, the hot sexy new trail to First Face is sweet. You guys/gals who put in all the hard work rule.

Thricely, Let's say you have this rope, it's all nice and newish. One day you discover a small 20 cm patch on your rope, slightly discolored on the sheath but otherwise solid, a bit stiff, but makes a wonky crackling sound when bent. Possibly plasticized the core? toss the rope?

That's what I can't figure out...
Took care of the rope, kept it under the bed. Don't think there was any heat damage, I did transport it in my trunk so possibly something chemical?

What you do under the privacy of your own bed is your business.

Cut the spot out, I've seen ropes that have had chemical damage with a sheath that looks normal and the core has disintegrated. You can probably use half of it for top roping still or rap cleaning.

I agree with Chris on this one. Is it close enough to the end of the rope at least?

oh, and what metolius pad is it? Behemoth?
