It is the core that gets the bulk of the damage and protects the sheath BUT it is the sheath that your ascenders or descender grip onto. So, a degraded sheath on a rope sling isn't too bad compared to ascending or descending a rope with a degraded sheath.
Before I throw it away does anyone want some carbide? It was a 5kg tub, lots of dust but still quite a few lumps in it.
Collect it my house in the dales and it's yours.
I've got a steel BA cylinder, strange tap - not din or A clamp.
If you collect it you can have it (near Ingleton).
Also, a 2L, aluminium, A clamp cylinder. It's a bit newer so yours for a small donation to CRO.
Longjohn and jacket with hood, smooth skin seals at wrists and ankles. Knees and elbows still intact (with a bit of aquasure).
Fits tall thin person.
View or collect, Ingleton area.
