Old but unused rope - still okay or not? 30-Jun-2014 At 7:55:39 AM mikllaw

Bomber, I just retired one of a set of 9mm ropes that I got in 1995 due to extreme wear, the other one should last a few more years. 5 years is nothing, I think my current 'best' rope is 4 years old.

The UIAA fall test is many times harsher than the real world:- high fall factor, no slip through a belay device, no belayer lift, no knot tightening, no climber's body movement.

I'd worry about it it you are doing things with mega falls on a fat belayer equipped with a Grigri. Particularly straight off a belay.

Or else I'd be happy to use it for a few years...
