I washed my rope yesterday, and hung it up on the stairs to dry last night. This morning it was dry to the touch. How long do I have to wait before I can climb on it? I'm not sure if the inside of the rope is dry yet. It's a 10.5 60m Edelweiss |

Who said you can't climb on wet ropes? |

I would wager that it isn't dry yet. 10.5 is thick. Give it another day or two. |
