Short version: Would you trust an eight-year-old rope, that looks to be in decent condition, for scrambling?
Long version: I bought a 60m, 9.8mm rope in 2013, used it fairly occasionally until 2018, then chopped it in half for regular gym use and the occasional Southern Sandstone top-rope. I've since cut a furry, flattish end off of one of the halves, but otherwise both halves look (and feel) to be in decent condition. Do you think the longer half would be suitable for scrambling? I'm headed to North Wales tomorrow and given the forecast it seems I'll end up doing less proper climbing than I'd hoped. But I'd rather not buy a new rope just for scrambling, nor get my double ropes wet in the unlikely case the heavens part and the sun shines on Llanberis Pass.
