Following the notice about Petzl ropes communicated bt the BMC recently.
Do Petzl manufacture ropes for other brands? Should "happy shopper" ropes be checked too?
Do Petzl buy in ropes from sub contractors? Do other brands also require scrutiny?
Obviously ALL ropes should be checked but it are there brands other than petzl which may require additional vigilance?
Case 1,the cut, is clearly a manufacturing defect. Poor QA but can be explained.
Case 2, the taped on tail, baffles me, how did this happen? Is it a manufacturing technique tape on a tail to pull through and the tail not removed prior to packaging?
Anyone "in the know"?
