Using Arborist Climbing Rope for Top Rope anchor

Hey all,
Would like to get into outdoor climbing in the next year or so and found some static rope remnants on a tree climbing gear site and was wondering if that's a good idea or not. Most are in the 11-12mm range. Not really concerned about weight, only 5 min hike to anchors (mostly trees 20-30' from edge), but thinking knot tying might be too much of pain. 

I prefer to use strapping/webbing/or a choker when going around trees or other natural features. 

With that said an 11/12 mm rope will work for a top rope anchor around a tree. Make sure to extend the static rope anchor over the edge and use edge protection. 

*use a dynamic rope for your top rope climbing*

That’ll do pig, that’ll do. I hope you’re not referring to the Bag o’ Rope from treestuff by the way that would be a real gamble.

Nope, was looking at some Sterling Kernmantle on wesspur.

Arborist line is meant to be abrasion resistant and holds knots much better than rock climbing rope. You could tie a running bowline, clove, cow hitch, timber hitch on the trunk, and an anchor hitch, double figure 8, bowline on a bight, for the carabiners. They sell leather sleeves as "friction savers" that would work really well for edge protection if necessary. if the trees sit 20-30' back I'd get an 80' hank of rope.

Here's the outdoor gear I use.  (Buy a bigger Anchor rope for tree's, but if your using Bolt's, then 20 feet will be enough.)  God Bless You, and Your Family, and Your Friend's, and Your Climbing!!!
