Should I be aware of anything special, if the climbing rope is soaking wet? E.g., does the Blake's hitch work ok? (I'm using DRT).

I remember growing up in Tampa seeing a full out storm on one side of the street, while the sun shined on the other side of the same street at the same time.RolloriClimber said:I kinda miss thoughs pinellas county 1/2 hour thunderstorms.

The situation to avoid would be leaving your rope in a tree overnight. You have broken one or more of the ten commandments.
Seriously though I would never leave my rope in a tree overnight. What could've happened to that rope while you were gone besides getting soaked? Leave your throwline in the tree tied off securely and take your lifeline home and then pull it back through to start work. No soaked or potentially rodent chewed (or who knows what else. Stolen?) rope in the morning.
