The first ten aren ' t going anywhere . <| sep |> yeah I don ' t think think there are any other organized things bigger than this . <| sep |> We clearly have different views on our gear management . Everything in my kit is either in full use , totally trusted and in working order , or is retired . The types of damage a rope could have which are not easily visually inspected i . e . acid or chemical damage are likely to compromise a rope whether you are taking small falls or giant whippers . I guess my point is , I personally wouldn ' t use equipment that I might have second thoughts about while I ' m climbing , from the information provided and my personal risk tolerance I would have no problem using the rope . I ' ve used many partners ropes , guide services ropes , and ropes of people I have just met at the crag , their is no way to know the full history of these ropes , yet generally people don ' t give a second thought to climbing on other ' s ropes given they pass a visual inspection .
