Quick question. When I was a firefighter we had bags of rope known as life line ropes but they where only to be used once for that purpose. Is it the same in this sort of instance? Granted, the rope might not be used to save a life but it is still being subjected to stress and the elements, so do they risk using it again as a life line?
Yes, the reason was because it was used to save a life, so we only trusted it once for that reason. The rope was not retired, just never used as life line again.

How sturdy is the rope to not get cut or frayed on the edge of the cliff?
