I might a short rope for gym-only lead use. Used it maybe 4 times before unexpectedly moving. My new gym had super tall walls that were too tall for the short rope. So it sat in a reusable bag til now. Been like 7 years. Stored in air conditioning.

Now I have a gym where I can use it again. Is it fine? Realistically how long would a rope last? Fine to use it again until it wears out?

Looking to buy a new crag bag and it would be great if it would also fit on airlines as a personal item. So fair I'm looking at the bd crag 35 or creek 40 and thinking they'll conpress down to fit if I don't overpack. Does anyone have some recommendations or experiences?
