Thanks, I have that site bookmarked. I already have "The Climbers Companion" and have found a wealth of information there.

I bought a rope with the following description:

64 FT 1/2 INCH STATIC KM III CLIMBING NEW ENGLAND ARBORIST YELLOW SAFETY ROPE. This new, yellow with white tracers, rope is made by the "New England Rope Inc. and KM III is the original static rope to utilize a UV resistant polyester sheath balanced with a nylon core to provide its user with a multitude of benefits. It absorbs less moisture, has lower stretch and is more abrasive resistant than an all nylon rope. Its unique lay allows for easier knot tying, better knot holding and helps to defuse sharp edge forces. KM III is exceptional for rappelling, caving, rescue and life safety applications". Specifications weight 7.0 lbs per 100 ft, tensile strength 44.22 kN (9940 lbs), elongation 10 % MBS 6.8 per cent. This is top quality rope.

Is this the right rope?
