neuroshock, When you start seeing the white threads is a core shot. I still climb on my ropes for a bit after that, but most people don't. Flat spots and spots where the rope has lost it's twist are also key signs of wear.

Crashpad foam, about every 2.5 years or so.

it varies depending on how much I climb in a year. I replace when it's wore out.
