tree sap on ropes

[bwwakaranai]

My buddy got some tree sap on his rope from tying it off while doing some tr solo. A section of rope remained stiff after a few days. What do you think? Is it unsafe to use now?Even after working the rope back and forth its still pretty rigid.

Alot of the usual nonsense but some info if you filter out the chaff.

Good luck

 

PS, I think Bill Coes comment on the bottom is the most sound, hes got the wisdom.

I've got sap on a couple ropes... it dries out and flakes off on its own. Sort of sucks to get sticky shit on your gear in the mean time, but we're seriously only talking a week of use or so. Dont worry aboot it.
