can good before i commit to buying it

I've climbed on static rope before and it's safe to take 10x your weight. A fall on it may be more serious as there is no stretch whatsoever in it.

For that price per metre i'm sure that you could find a proper climbing rope like Marlow gecko or Yale XTC12.

 

Marlow Gecko and Yale are also semi static ropes like Beal Antipodes.

 

Beal is not rigging line it's a classic industrial access line. GoOutdoors are selling it as a rigging line for sport climbers/caving.

 

Beal Antipodes would make a great SRT access line that is about all though it is NOT suitable as as a main life line for Treework, unless you are an experienced and competent climber.

 

Phillip it would make a great strop/lanyard and is very economical, I tend to go through lanyards quickly so this is the type of line I use. As a main climbing line I would go to an Arb supplier online and order a length with Splice anything by Yale or New England is going to be of good qaulity and suitable.
