JosephH Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Just what do you consider "well used"...? How old? How many lead falls? Sorry, but it's Oregon down here and we're way into recycling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstach Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 I have no idea how many lead falls these ropes have on them. The dynamic ropes were all climbed on for about 3-4 seasons of weekend warrior type use. Plus they have been in a rubbermaid bin in my closet for an additional 2-3 years. I had forgotten about them until I saw Tvash sell a retired rope a while back. So I thought I would see if someone has a use for them. The static rope was used for top-roping and vertical rope work (rappelling and jumaring)in caves. Its probably 10 years old including the last 5 years in the back of my closet. The sheath is in good shape on all ropes; all retired due to age not defect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marylou Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 If you don't find a good home for any,I might take one off your hands at no cost to you to weave into a doormat. I have a retired rope, but it's an ass ugly color. The static in particular might be nice if it's black. Hey, it's no money, but at least I could repurpose one for ya!

JosephH Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Thirty bucks plus shipping in this case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Thirty bucks plus shipping in this case... touche! BUT, having personally seen a rope part, literally fall apart, under bodyweight only (and the resulting near fatality): and seeing how some others take care of their ropes....ahhh, nevermind, you don't want to hear it....

JosephH Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Where do you think that Supersafe came from we used on the FA of Lost Warriors...? Ebay, dude! It was part of a batch of five ropes from a guy in PA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I knew that, and I appreciate you sharing the history before we climbed: but I thought that the fella had stopped climbing and the rope was still fairly (relativly) new.... besides, I wasn't planning on falling on it. (insert justification here) Often on those kinds of routes, you wind up pulling off a block and taking the ride, or the block does, then at least when that happens, and your rope gets blown, you don't feel as bad as trashing a new one.... BTW, I have some new ones, when we get out together we can use mine for leading and bstachs for rappeling and jugging as we clean the route of blocks and rocks. 1 have an 18 fall 11mil rope that is 6 months old for instance. Are you seeing this bstach, are you OK with these ropes being pressed into climbing service and used for jugging and rapping ? My fat ass goes at approx 165 lbs, we'll be 200'-300' or so off of the deck? Maybe JH weighs more than me and we can see if it holds him first?

bstach Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 I don't have the expertise to warrant these ropes for any climbing use. I have disclosed everything I know above. I retired these ropes from lead climbing after 3-4 seasons as good practise, just to be on the safe side, not because they had any defect (e.g. soft spots or sheath wear). They are probably fine for jugging/rappleing, but I cannot make any guarantees. Caveat emptor. If you want them, PM me shipping info.
