Tak, killen. Thanks @oskarlindby for the ice climbing lesson, as well as the small loss of sensation in my right foot.

We need ropes. The hardest donation to find is a safe climbing rope. Read below! Rope must be: New or like new Younger than 3 years Passes the pinch test and visual inspection test Dynamic 9.4mm to 10.5mm Over 60m! While some follow the ethic of taking used ropes in the US as "just don't" (and there is even a joke Instagram account that "rents" used ropes) this is a luxury that doesn't exist for people outside the US where climbing equipment costs between 10% more (in Mexico) to 50% more (like in Argentina), or isn't even sold (like Panama, Venezuela). Using my experience selling used gear, 20 years in climbing, and guidelines from manufacturers like @maximropes and @petzl_official (who've donated to our fundraising efforts in the past), I take personal responsibility for checking the donated ropes, and even for follow-up regular inspection in the programs that receive them. I take ropes from experienced climbers who can give the full history, make a thorough physical inspection, and even personally give training in their inspection to the program directors in charge of equipment. If you have questions or comments about this, about used ropes or the programs, please feel free to comment here. I'm very open to hearing people's ideas or concerns regarding the donation of ropes! #tieyourknots, and retire beat ropes to @trickymesmer's rope art studio ;)
