Hey Andy, I have a question relating to rope damage, if you have any feedback it would be much appreciated. I have been building my experience and learning the lead rope soloing systems outlined in your book and other online resources. A few days ago I was lead rope soloing a 3 pitch climb and noticed damage to the outside of the rope (I could see the inside which was undamaged but it was still alarming, especially after a relatively small route - rope has been retired).
I think the re-belaying on descent that Andy mentions is the main key to saving your rope.
There used to be an excellent video by Dave MacLeod on the subject ( but recently removed )
I haven’t found an equivalent vid that covers it as well as Daves
