LOL! That's good advice! But that's one reason I climb dDRT with a split tail - all I have to replace if I burn something is 4 feet of rope.While, I've never melted any rope - I pretty much abide by your advice with dDRT, but I do see the wear and tear on the split tail.

It's interesting that with the high temperature cover hitch cords coming into wider use climbers are starting to see their main climbing rope getting scorched while the hitch is undamaged. These are climbers who like to fly down their rope DdRT.

There is, nevertheless, a certain respect and a general duty of humanity that ties us, not only to beasts that have life and sense, but even to trees and plants.  --Michael Eyquem, seigneur de Montaigne
