Mat CortezMat Cortez: The rope is pretty nice, but not suitable for using a mechanical ascender(like a Rope Runner Pro). After about 10 times going up and down the rope had squished so much that I could fall around 5 feet before the ascender would reliably grab the rope and stop me(not a free-fall, but still falling). I imagine over time it would squish so much that it wouldn't be able to hold me at all. This rope is about 12.5mm and the Rope Runner Pro has a rope range from 11-13mm.
If you are climbing with a Prusik I imagine it would probably do fine as that type of knot applies even pressure around the whole rope. I would also use this line for rigging or even as a backup safety line. Just not suitable for a device like the Rope Runner.
Not easy to make out but you can see in the picture that the rope gets squished into a rectangle.

Barbara Spanos: Unfortunately this rope snapped on me today. I used a straight line 1k Lb winch and boom... Thankfully I always tie off my gear to a secondary line so nothing comes flying back in my face should something break. The company did the right thing and instructed me to return for a refund.... based on the reviews though I'm very shocked mine broke so I'm contemplating either ordering another replacement or stepping up to the 20k Lb tensile strength variant. Honestly, I shouldn't need such a crazy strong rope. I was pulling down a dead Ashe tree that was already cut. Oh well, I guess things happen and I'm probably going to give this rope another chance.

JHolmes: I cut and remove tree's for a living and use this rope because it has a good outer sheave as well as a good core. I will do drop and catch with a good portion of most tree's with a good ground man then switch to bull line. This rope works well and can take some abuse and is worth the money.

L. murchison: Used so far to climb oak trees four times for limbing and felling. I do occasional tree work, not professionally. I use just the rope and saddle, no fancy ascenders or other such gear. I put a loose loop around my boot for upward thrust and a Blake's hitch on the tail of my saddle attachment point to ascend me. This rope works perfectly after a little break in period. It was tight and binding at first but worked in. It's not very stretchy but will hold a shock well. I don't use friction savers and the rope seems to be taking the abrasion well. Very easy to tie knots in. Not really 1/2", rather it's 13mm, a little thicker than 1/2", so some 1/2" gear may not work.

Bill and pat: Ordered my Rope on Friday and received it on Saturday. Used it a bit this weekend and it works great. I will buy a couple more of these ropes soon. UPDATE: I have used this rope now for well over a year. It holds up to the toughest treatment. I have pulled down over 80 trees on my property by putting a Line into a tree and using my tractor to pull the tree down where I want it to go. I have stress tested it several times by lowering 3-400lb limbs out of trees with no problems. This 12 Strand rope is bulletproof. I have had ropes that were supposed to be comparable fail miserably under the same loads. Already ordered a 200 ft to replace another low quality rope.

Had to laugh at the answer to the hammock question above. Of course it will.
