Hi. I have had a similar experience. I have a 30m dedicated indoor wall rope that is about 7 years old. I climb twice a week indoors and mainly always on the lead and it is unusual not to take at least one whipper a session. We tend to belay with Gri Gris a fair bit and I find this tends to squeeze the rope into an oval shape with time.
Having spoken to others, I lead on the other end after a big fall, to allow the "stretched end" to recover, and otherwise inspect it regularly for any visible signs of wear, which there are none, so I am happy to continue using it.
I am sure the more cerebral UKC'ers will jump on this like a tramp on a sandwich and tell us why this is wrong, quoting various "pull test studies" and other exciting things but rope life is not an exact science and I have seen 1 week old ropes past their sell by date following abuse - usually outside.
