David_Parker Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 A friend who doesn't climb anymore just gave me two PMI 1/2 ropes, 8.8mil, 60M, ultradry. These ropes were still factory packaged, however they are 3 years old. They were stored in a cool dry place. Should I have any concerns? Also, I'm curious as to the best way to mark the middle. Is magic marker or sharpie ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always found a sharp knife works wonders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
