Seeking Retired Ropes for the Youth!

Do you have any retired ropes lying around that you’d like to see go to a good cause? I’m a 6th grade teacher at a very high needs school where I am trying to get an outdoor recreation program off the ground (ha!). I would love to have some rope remnants for each of the kids to practice some knot tying in class while I work to convince admin that mountains will improve test scores and life outcomes for these youth. Being 12 years old is brutal, let’s try and make it better for them.

I currently live in Bellingham, but am more than willing to travel to pick up donations. More than happy to buy donors a beer too! Any help in creating the next generation of mountain-loving adventure-seekers would be next level appreciated!

Maybe you should call around to some of the gyms in the area and see if they'll sell (or donate) some retired ropes?

Or if you're just looking for kids to be able to practice knot tying, maybe just buy some cheap rope from the hardware store?

I live in Bend, I have some shorter, cut chunks of rope that would be perfect for practicing knots. If you're down this way I'd hand them off, or maybe after the holidays I could ship them up. You might also reach out to the American Alpine Institute in Fairhaven. They tend to burn through ropes every year. 

I'm also in Bend and have easily 400'+ of rope lying around you're welcome to if you're ever down in the area.

PM sent.

Do you still need ropes? I have a ridiculous number of old worn out ropes in my basement that I'd be happy to ship to you. PM me if you want some.
