If the worst happens and you end up in a crevass but manage to get out using a jumar or a tibloc how knackered is your rope lible to be, and could it be trusted to take a fall after it?

In reply to Monts:

No reason for occasional use of a Tibloc to knacker the rope provided its used carefully (IE seated before being weighted). Its yer crampons which will knacker it.

In reply to Monts: just use prussicks instead.

agree with graham. core accounts for 70% (or something like that) of the strength anyway.
