I read somewhere a few years ago that you retire a rope after 3 years of normal use. I have 50m Mammut. When I told Loren about this "retire rule" he said "that is a good idea can I have your rope"

What is "normal use" defined as? Most rope manufacturers give suggested times for the life of a rope based on how often its used. I never do that, i'll climb on a rope until it starts getting very fuzzy or there is evidence of core damage.
