yeah, so, this is certainly going to elicit a number of less than serious responses, but so be it.
if a person, hypothetically ofcourse, were to vomit on their climbing rope, would this be an issue?
now i am just guessing here, but my thoughts are that the stomach acid involved could be potentially harming to the rope. thoughts?

According to a test I saw somewhere on the web:

Vomit or Piss = up to 30 percent weaker

Using rope as a doormat, walking over rope over broken glass, and driving over it with a car = 0 percent weaker.
