Warnings
It is important to know that your rope will get shorter with age, for two different reasons:
Note also that this phenomenon is not necessarily symmetric on each end of the rope: half of the rope can shrink by 5% and the other half by 10%. In this case, the rope's middle mark is no longer in the correct location.
Shrinkage is more pronounced if the rope gets wet and then dries without being tensioned (climbing a snow slope, for example).
- regularly alternate the use of the two ends of the rope.
- for half ropes, be sure to alternate the use of the two strands of rope.
- regularly inspect the middle mark of the rope. There is a simple way to find the middle of the rope: hold the two rope ends together, then slide the two strands simultaneously through your hands until the middle of the rope is reached.
- regularly evaluate the length of your rope.
