    problem rope

    It wasnt knicked by a saw and as I said Im pretty sure it wasnt damaged before I started this morning. Im wondering if it might be chemical damage to the fibers and once it goes through the hitch it busts loose?? Dunno but Im scared of it since I dunno

    problem rope

    OK so I thought I would treat myself to a new climbing line today. I believe the rope is Arbormaster, I bought it from the ebay guy a while back. Anyway I was trimming away and then noticed a bad spot on the rope....As the day went on 3 or 4 more bad spots appeared. OK this rope has never been...
