If I'd not been climbing for 8 years and found a couple of ropes I don't think I'd be expecting to be taking
huge whippers or crazy fall factors. I'd want to put it into gentle use - top-ropes, simple lead climbs with
nice lower-offs, and examine the rope closely after each climb. I've been climbing on a 60m mammut
galaxy I bought in 1998, taken many falls and only retired it in 2008 when it started getting really tatty and
some spongy bits in it. I guess it's what you're happy with. Only you can make that call. I'd be
expecting to see some sheath damage before crapping my pants and burning my rope!
