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.

You really need to question this? I thought it was the whole reason for RC.
