Is this damage bad?

[boo36]

I was descending and the rope caught on the "hinge pin" of my DMM double lock biner. It messed up a couple feet of rope. Is it safe to climb on?

Meh, wouldn't bother me too bad. You're aware of how and when it was damaged.. Looks like 16 strand.. They're quite rugged, and I've climbed on line that looked worse. Don't take my advice, though. If you're doubting it.. Don't chance it. It's your peace of mind.

I'd climb on it,I'd trim the fraying and then hit it with a lil flame

I would trim it, but would not hit it with flame. Just trim and let be.

double meh
I would singe it like a suckling piglet then carry on.

I'd cut it off, singeing the rope causes problems with prusiks and devices, even a tiny singe is a massive irritation when trying to budge a prusik.

If you trim it, the fibres poke out from the next spot, the best method is to pull a few inches and bury it back.

I hit all frays on my lanyard with some flame regularly, 0 issues ever...jus sayin. Imo the singe helps keep the strand from poppin out the next pick,i trim it first so there isn't a giant lump to interfere with my hitch cord. To each their own!

Wow. Hyperbole, much?

 

[Sgriff]

I had to google that!!

 

[jmaher]

I'm sure when you did it made no sense. I meant hyperbole.
