Don't they recommend changing every five or so?
Depends on whether you've taken a lot of falls on it (I hadn't: I'm very conservative, even climbing indoors) and whether it's been in the heat or sunlight a lot (which degrades the nylon--never use gear that's been stored for a long time in a car trunk, for instance).
I should probably retire all my ropes, too... Sigh.
I'm not proud of it, but my initial reaction to reading a blurb about a new Lynrd Skynrd-themed restaurant was to wonder if the tables are going to be mounted in the remains of crashed vehicles.
My sympathies, Maria. Peace to you and your family.
So sorry for your loss, Maria
Maria, I'm so sorry.
About Weiner, that makes me somehow less surprised. He's such a 20-year-old douche.
I am sorry for your loss, Maria.
