Bail Cord!

Cut out the core shot part of the rope, of course before bailing on it.

That's what you do if you're stuck somewhere and your life depends on using your rope. That's not what you do if you cored your rope and are too cheap to get a new one for the crag.

It was knda close to the the end on my 70m so I cut it. Lost about 10 meters after the cutting it :(

Seems like climbing with that acquaintance might be a bad idea too.

Beal Yuji 60m rope is around $110.
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
