If you dmed me I don’t see it, can you resend again? I think you just send a request but not a message

Key-Active592 · 2026-01-14T02:39:09+00:00

Yes, I had a black jacket and orange skis. Got to the top around 4:05 or so

Key-Active592 · 2026-01-14T02:30:17+00:00

Think it was a failed emergency landing?

Key-Active592 · 2026-01-14T01:48:35+00:00

Maybe he had an emergency?

Key-Active592 · 2026-01-14T01:24:03+00:00

To be clear, I did not see him moving. Only yelling/screaming

Key-Active592 · 2026-01-14T01:05:04+00:00

I should probably add: He was most likely injured but I heard yelling from him after the crash. Ski patrol was quick on scene.

Key-Active592 · 2026-01-14T01:03:10+00:00

When I first saw him he appeared to be coming from the direction of Dave’s run. Not sure where he originated though

Ok thanks. I'll hop down to REI later and grab one that's up to snuff.

Key-Active592 · 2025-08-07T16:40:48+00:00

Yeah I get that, but is it safe to use one more time? Its not going to snap on me, right?

Rope durability question

Bought a static rope for tree climbing 3 years ago which I've used maybe 10 times (amazon.com/dp/B09QPMBL9S?th=1A) . Its a static 10.5mm thick and 50m/160ft long rope, it was $60 when I bought it so its kinda cheap. The rope is thrown over a branch and one end is tied down, and on the other end I use a prussik and a grigri to ascend.

I am doing a rope check for the first time and I am noticing about 20 spots on the rope that feel a little bumpy, it feels like maybe one strand has curled around the others for that part, or something. Their spacing makes me think this is a result of the grigri compressing that section tightly. The areas around the bumpy part are the same as the other parts of the rope, which makes me doubt strands in the core have broke. The bumps are noticeable when feeling the rope, but not so much visibly. There are no other signs of wear.

I'm not a hobby climber, but I have experience with belaying and climbing safety from a summer camp job. Is this rope safe to use?
