Since [I04] implies that team-supplied ropes are included in the official definition of ROPE, [G15-H] may mean teams may not damage their own ropes.
Here is my
Q&A question on that relationship. In hindsight it could have been better-worded, but I'd already spent a day trying to figure out how to say it in order to prevent the "the LRI will judge it..." response. It effectively calls into question what the difference between damage and wear & tear is for ropes - which applies in any climber using an abrasive design for capture. It came up for us, so I had to ask.
