Would you climb on a rope exposed to small paint drops?

I think that a few paint drops worth of damage is equivalent to about 3 seconds of dragging it on sandstone.

Use it.

I always wash paint off my rope with some gas. It comes right off. :wink:
So, you're a feminist...isn't that cute.

that rope is a safety hazard. i retire my ropes at the slightest hint of compromised rope integrity (just ask the people i climb with).

yes, you should retire it and send it to me so that i can hone my master weaver skills. for a small fee (or a large amount of beer) i could weave you a fancy rug right nice...like so:

How old is the rope? Is it a dry rope?
No chalkbag since 1995.

ouch....you're just jealous because he'll beat you again in basketball, scandal or not.

So i washed it off with some gas, paint thinner and battery acid on hard to remove spots. Then i went ahead and peed on it for good measure. Anyone wanna play rope gun for me this weekend?
