I know it can be awkward, but next time you are about to buy or accept something plastic; from a shopping bag, to a toothbrush, to a bottle of water or a takeaway coffee cup - just think this is how it ends up. This is the industry and environmental devastation we are adding to...
A
question often asked on climbing courses is how to look after your
gear. It's pretty straightforward. Any gear,
(ropes/slings/hardware/harness) that is muddy, gritty or has been on sea
cliffs gets rinsed well in fresh water; then hung to air dry out of
direct sunlight.
Check ropes/slings/harness for abrasion. Check
hardware for flaking, fracturing, gate stiffness or anything else
obvious. Then hang somewhere dry, air temperature and out of sunlight.
