How often do you replace your

Rope

Metal

Nylon

- understood that damage or falls are not included in this question

[Cr0cket20]

@WildMedGuru1 Much of it depends on where you go and how often you go. For example, when we climb in desert/sandy environments that is extremely hard on the gear. I really don't have a timeline, I more look for damage or soft spots in the rope. Or certain years where we climbed a lot, we would change the rope out more often. Hope that gives you an idea anyway.

6:45 is some seriously sketchy belaying! I'm sure she's fixed her technique since then, but damn. I hate when people overreact and criticize videos but I have been dropped before because of that exact thing. It wasn't horrendous, but it was a scary 15 feet. Just had to say something. Carry on

@MrPhotoFreakish I think your English is great. Good point. Helmets would definitely help prevent some serious injuries.
