Hi, I have a 60m single rope but I don't know the diameter. The codes on the ends of the rope are CE0120 and UIAA 1, but I don't think these identify the diameter. Is there some way that I can find out the diameter? (Other than emptying my loft for the original receipt?? (I think 10.5mm, but I'm not certain...) Thanks.

Useally rope come with two bands on each end. the first has the CE and UIAA certificate, and another one with the brand and size of the rope.
If its missing than there not a really easy way of knowing.
Do you know the brand of your rope? Maby posting a picture of the rope some one will reconize it and be able to tell you what you have.

My first response is to say that beyond the obvious distinctions of being fat or skinny, who cares? If you think it's about 10.5 then we have established that it's not so skinny that you are worried about getting enough friction from a belay device.
If you really care, you can wrap a thread around your line and divide circumference by 3.14.
