Hi all, this is my first post here,
So recently I decided to invest in a double rope for alpine climbing and I decided to get the Mammut 8.5 Genesis. I've been saving for almost 4 months to buy these ropes. Then, this New Year I spent about a week climbing in North Conway, NH area and I think Pinnacle (Huntington Ravine) is the roughest route I went to.
When I got back and inspect my rope, to my dismay the nylon on this part has been damaged. My question is, is there any way to repair this damage? My partner thinks that it should be cut but I just shelled out ~$400 dollars on this double rope and it breaks my heart to retire it right away. However, obviously safety is still the most important issue for me and I just want an additional opinion from this forum
