Burning Ropes on Lead Fall 15-Jun-2013 At 6:36:52 AM trog

Not sure about relative heat dissipations & it seems pretty quick, but it's quite easy to glaze (and flatten) ropes like this on long abseils &/or multiple people in quick succession using racks with aluminium bars + static ropes...

I've often seen some people clip into the gear and to let the rope rest, to recover some elasticity after a fall. Although I think it takes a while to recover properly and the real reason they clip in is probably closer to stopping their belayer from lowering them that crucial 20cm..., can't find the link I'm thinking of.
Would also give time for the heat in the biner to dissipate a bit too.

Maybe lower off and start again on the other end? good for you anyway :)
