If a tool or component is worn but not obviously damaged it still may
be ready for retirement. Mixed climbing wears tools and components
down much faster than ice and snow. A sharp impact can weaken a tool
or component considerably, often in ways that are not apparent to the
naked eye.
It is vitally important that your tools and components be sound. If you
have any doubts about the dependability of a tool or component, retire it
and get a new one. Anytime you retire a piece of gear, destroy it to prevent
future use.
