Hi there,
I bought new ropes at the beginning of 2013. Then in 2013 I had a shoulder injury which stopped my climbing. I'm back climbing now and I want to get back out this year.
The ropes have been stored in rope bags, in dry bags, in a dark wardrobe at 18 deg C. No light, no damp, no chemicals, no blades. They have been taken out every now and then and flaked out on a tarp (indoors) before being put back in the bags.
Maybe they could have been at the shop in spring/summer 2012 so they could now be a maximum of 5 years old. They have never been used. They are in mint, brand new condition. I'm 100% confident in the care and storage that these ropes have had.
I'm interested in knowing your views on how much life they have left in them once they start to get used.
Ok to climb on (lead, ab, top rope....everything) for the next 4 years?
Thanks
