Care of Rope
How to take care of your Rope?
1. Keep your rope off the ground: Keep your
rope elevated so dirt, grease, chemicals, and
various debris can’t touch it.
2. Store rope out of the sun and excessive
heat: Excessive heat can weaken rope, so
don’t store it in a hot shed or attic.
3. Inspect rope occasionally for damage: After
you use your rope, do a quick inspection for
damage. According to REI, you want to look
for the following defects:
- Does the rope feel stiff?
- Do you see or feel cuts?
- Can you see the core?
