So someone just gave me some rope, but i have no idea what kind. both ends are pretty frayed up, but i can melt those down. But i dont know if it is dynamic or static. are there any tell-tale signs of dynamic rope.

This should be the rule for anything that's a single point of failure.

I agree with jajen, Go and buy a rope. Their is no sacrifice for safety.
You know I have this shirt that says " Famous last words, Hey watch this"
" I probably wont be taking any major falls " sounds like one of those famous last word quotes to me.

Of course, we all know no one is stupid enough to use that rope for anything resembling real climbing. However, if you want to continue anyway, I'd suggest using this way I've linked below to achieve death faster. The only downside I can see if that it's a bitch to sew yer own harness.

Everything looked truck to me.
Just think of the money he could make if he put all his ideas in a book and sold it.
I'd be first in line for that book. To think of the money I could have saved making my own gear.
Priceless. Thanks Bill.
