I use retired 1/2" static kernmantle rope from my vertical caving days. It never got much use but most say retire in 10 years even if you toss it in a closet. I was once at a caving convention and the author of On Rope was giving a talk about vertical caving. His one funny line was if you cant tie a knot, tie a lot.
