I started on one just like that, mine was so stiff you could hold 3 or 4 foot of it straight out in front of you, don't miss it one bit!!

We had to wrap new ropes around a tree and stretch them out with a truck to loosen them up a bit. Manilla ropes were more plyable, I prefered them. And they were CHEAP.

Ha,ha! Yes my first climbing kit consisted of three strand everything! Didn't have slings or pulleys,just boought some Shackles from the local boat yard and spliced topping down strops.

 

Bought my first modern rope after a season in Germany.
