PMI 183 Meter Climbing Rope

What’s up everyone,

I’ve got a 183 Meter 11 MM Climbing Rope for sale. it’s not new so it’ll be much cheaper than getting s rope from PMI themselves.

If no buyers want all 183, I am willing to cut it into shorter pieces as well.

Any advantage to Half Liter (.5L) bottles?

Earlier I posted up and then promptly deleted a post regarding two water bottle insulators that I thought were too small. Upon closer inspection, the tiny tag deep in the insulators show they're designed for HALF LITER bottles. I feel like such a fool.
