My brand new climbing rope got a core shot on a simple removal
It happened yesterday on a routine silver maple takedown in Akron. The rope ran over a tiny, sharp stub I missed, and now there's a 3-inch section where the core is exposed. What's your go-to method for inspecting gear after a close call like this?

How gutting is that, what's your usual check for sheath damage?

The last sheath I had to scrap was a brand new 80-dollar one from a show in Lexington. Found a hairline crack along the throat after the first real use. It was so fine you could only see it with a light behind it. That kind of thing makes you check every single inch under a lamp now.
