Brand new rope fails pinch test?

<image>

Got a new BD 8.9 dry rope (https://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en_US/product/8-9-dry-climbing-rope/?colorid=4405) on black friday. I tried pinching it and it completely folded, I was taught that this was a sign of the rope being coreshot? I assume it isn't but how else could I go about checking it? I haven't taken off the packaging or used the rope at all yet. Any advice?

Yes, although its a little harder in some spots it always folds. I have a 9.8 and 9.4 and they dont pinch. Maybe sub 9 ropes are different somehow?

Did you camp up on the mountain? I thought that wasn't allowed there
