Another thing u asked about that I noticed recently.....I have the t-burger rescue tech as my rappel line....I have 1 season hunting with it...I recently untied all the knots because I have a small fray in the sheath on 1 end. I untied everything and retied all the knots on the opposite end of the rope. I can feel that the core is softer/spongy where the knots were. That small area doesn't pass the pinch test but it's at the very end of the rope so I'm not stressing it....so I get 1 more season out of it and I'll untie those new knots and see if it passes pinch test (doubt it) and then I can cut it down and get 2 more seasons then I guess it'll be time to replace. I have never even come close to having to use the entire length of rappel line...I think it's 35ft...I rarely climb over 15 some maybe I'll get 4 more seasons outta it? Either way.....untie and pinch test ur ropes periodically
Won't the wine press damage the rope, especially when wet? I might try the washing machine on cold, gentle cycle. No wine press for me.Wine press

Sounds like you might be getting some great experience with knot untying.Won't the wine press damage the rope, especially when wet? I might try the washing machine on cold, gentle cycle. No wine press for me.
I have one figure eight knot on the end of my climbing rope. I think I can handle that.Sounds like you might be getting some great experience with knot untying.
What about the big one the washing machine ties for you?I have one figure eight knot on the end of my climbing rope. I think I can handle that.
I have never tried that before. You know it does tie a Gordian knot?What about the big one the washing machine ties for you?
