the specs say this rope could only hold 8 UIAA falls AND it's not dry treated. Redpoint sez that's your ass.

You climb in the rain, and 8 falls is about average for a 9.7

UIAA Falls
'UIAA Falls' is a standardized rating that every climbing rope receives from the UIAA (Union Internationale des Associations d'Alpinisme), which has established standard testing procedures to measure how a rope reacts to severe falls. This concept is confusing to most new climbers. If your rope is rated at 8 'UIAA Falls' it may withstand (a lot) more than 8 falls*. 'UIAA Falls' create a worst case scenario and repeats it until rope failure. Details are available at the UIAA website.
*One fall can do core damage to a rope. Always inspect your rope.
UIAA falls are calculated with an 80 kg (176 lbs) weight for single ropes and a 55 kg (122 lbs) for half and twin ropes.

I just bought a new one because I haven't really climbed in a couple of years and didn't like the idea of climbing on an old rope.
