Looks like you’re having a good productive time there. Just casting my eye over photo 3, I think it’s may be a 13 mm Marlow Komodo main climbing line? When you have time get someone to check it or cast your eye over it, that’s a fair bit of rough abrasions on the outer sheaf, I think I would be tempted to fail it if we LOLER inspected it. Happy climbing and be safe.

It is a Marlow Komodo but it’s my steel lanyard so a bit more resistant. I am aware of it though and made note, had a meeting with the rigging line ?

Yep fair dos, that said the sheaf is still an integral part of that piece of kit and would lead to a failure. Steel rope in contact against a mechanical steel/aluminium rope grab ain’t good.

Exactly what I was thinking, I'm no expert in this area but it did look a bit ragged to me.
