Rope pluck worry.

[treequip]

If the bundles are just pulled and not cut you can fiddle them back in by gently pulling the strand over a half metre or so. Use a blunt instrument so as not to damage the fibres.

 

Once pulled back in rub it vigorously between your palms or palm down on a table to bed it back in.

I would climb on one like that, in fact i do:blushing:

 

I think all my ropes have some scars, but if you are so worried, use another till its checked out

Thanks guys for the advice...i did ask my old tutor too he said its fine.

Three plucks within an inch and its a scrapper.

If both the strands are fully severed then bin it or cut the end off the rope. If just plucked a bit then it should be fine. Ease it back into place. If the same strand is damaged in 2 places then its probably no good, though it looks like they are different strands.

where are you based? from what i can see in the photo it may be one strand damaged and what you can see is the two ends, can i also stress that that is no garantee, let your loler inspector have a look he'll let you know, if ever you'd like an inspection I run loleruk, you can give me a ring on 0783502923 if you like.

I would tend to agree with Andy, work the strand away from the area where the rope has "plucked", you should find by pulling the strand back (with something blunt like a pen) over about a meter you will hardly notice the problem. When the rope got caught all it did will pull one strand tight, by reversing this you will just put it back to a balance, if you get any fluffy bits sticking out use a light and singe these off, be carful not to melt the rope though
