Rigging Line

[hernv031]

I was just wondering how often should you change a rigging line? A month, year, ten years.

Just before it breaks.

Depends how much you use it, how you use it, and how you take care of it. If you never natural crotch and never overload it should last years.

Impossible to give an accurate answer. Much depends on how you treat it, how it's loaded, natural crotch or pulley use, cycles to failure, etc. Most rope manufacturer's recommend discarding a rope after it shows 25% wear.
