What's the best way to mark the middle of my rope? I recently heard that permanent markers can degrade rope and tape would interfere with the rope running through gear (I assume). Ideas?

It's gonna suck when we read about NWD in Awakenings after his lifeline parts in the middle.
I think you should blame Brian first, Wiley second, NoBivy third and me last.
such a marked rope can only break in practice when the two or three centimeters (about one inch), which are marked, are placed over a sharp rock edge when the rope is loaded by a fall".
This seems to be fairly contradictory. A 50% strength loss sounds fairly significant to me.
