I have been climbing for quiet a while and NEVER seen a rope marked that close to the end. What brand of rope is this and was it commercially marked or was it marked by the climber ?
Petzl and Mammut mark their ropes in this fashion. I believe the marks are typically 5 to 6 meters from each end, as well as in the middle of the rope.
Edited to add: there may be other manufacturers that do this as well.
