Sheath Damage

We got our rope stuck on the descent and had to pull really hard to free it. The point where the EDK was tied shreaded the outer sheath and a small part of the inner sheath to let the knot pass through the flake. I now have 59 meter ropes. Oh well, it sure as hell beats prusicking.

your twins right Martin?
Just imagine if you had to prusik up those while they ran over the same sharp corner...not fun.

Re: these are

Correct, they are my 7.8mm twins. Yeah, we got lucky, could have been much worse. Thanks for the votes.
