Hi,
My friend has a stationary rope permanently installed in a pine/fur tree. He climbs up a ladder but he is secured with a rope as a backup using petzl ID to catch slack/descend.
The rope is a patron treeAccess and it now has a segment that has gotten stiff, supposedly from sap that has bled from a removed branch onto the rope.
Is this at all dangerous? I realize it's not good to have sticky sap inside the ID but it is dry. Will it in any way compromise the structure of the rope, or will the IDs braking function be affected at all over that section of the rope?
