Hi,
What kind of temperature ratings does a standard 10mm dynamic rope have?
I went climbing a few days ago, in temperatures that reached 36C. I left my rope out for an hour or two during lunch, and when I got back the sheath showed slight signs of melting around the outside.
I'm guessing it's only minor sheath damage, but don't want to take too many chances. The lesson here is don't leave your rope lying in the sun on hot days..... |
