I'm currently in Chattanooga TN but will be in Durango starting in September. Why?

My guideline is once the core becomes visible, it needs to be retired (or end cut off). So I would say no, dont use it.

If (or when) you take a long whipper and are on your way down this might flash into your mind - "I'm going to die because I was too cheap to retire this darn rope". Or maybe you won't :).

What makes you think I'm using it as a work horse?

Since you actually had to ask.

No way. If it's at the end sure cut it, but I wouldn't even want to TR on a rope with core showing.

I mean the rope is the most important part in the system no?

I would get rid of it, use it for tying top rope anchors or something of that ilk. It's not worth using it if u ask me

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
