Title: Donate your old Rope= help THE HOUSE!
Post by: F4? on December 15, 2010, 04:58:28 PM: In a nut shell, bring your old rope into a touchstone gym and Keen will recycle it. They will give some $$ to the Access Fund.

Finally, I can clean out my garage. I only have 10 ropes.

I feel very weird if I do not have enough cord to fix anything up to 2,500 feet in california on a moments notice.

Glad to hear I am not the only one...

Post by: F4? on December 15, 2010, 08:47:20 PM: problem is....most are +10yrs old or were cut in half by some jackass when the other half was stuck on the lost arrow. "Here is 1/2 your rope back".

Mucci....you need to steal a spool from the gym.

I say pool all of our manky ropes and drop them off on the way to PG SF.

I had almost forgotten about that incident. Hey, at least I offered to get the other half back for you...

Post by: F4? on December 19, 2010, 08:12:02 AM: Yea, a TM walk off. I swear one time Jake and I "walked" off the Dike route and he almost tripped over a bolt.

Maybe a 30m rope would be best for Sonora Pass routes. They can be a bit short. Just go to the short cracks area.

Post by: F4? on February 10, 2011, 07:55:55 PM: Finally planet granite is doing the same deal. I just unloaded 4x ropes. One was bought in 1988 and was in mint condition.

Sorry MUDs, no recycled ropes for you.

And will you retire my old super safe.
