Care and storage

Even modern ropes get old and wear out. Your ropes lifespan can be prolonged and the safety
reserves maintained longer if you follow the following points:

  • Always uncoil your rope as described in the instruction manual supplied with the rope. This will avoid memory kinking.
  • Check that your rope runs with as little friction as possible, this reduces abrasion (also when top roping).
  • Avoid sharp edges.
  • Keep your rope as free as possible from dust, dirt or sand.
  • Before and after use run the rope several times through your hand.
  • Make sure your rope has no kinks when you coil it using the bow method or a rope bag, now and again let the whole rope hang free.
  • When very dirty you should wash your rope using rope wash or clear water. Leave your rope loose in a well aired area in the shade and out of direct sunlight.
  • Keep your rope when not in use in a cool dry place and as much as possible in a constant temperature.
  • Avoid contact with aggressive chemical substances, these could damage your rope so that it is unsafe and dangerous to use.
  • Avoid sharp edges or heavy weights on your rope whilst it is being stored.
