If the rope is hanging, you can tell by pulling on it whether it is dynamic or not. If the rope still has factory tape on the ends, if the rope is dynamic, it will be marked with a “1” (single rope), “1/2” (half rope), or “00” (twin rope). Any other marking or no marking may indicate that the rope is static.

Yes. Dynamic ropes work perfectly well for rappelling, and in certain situations they may actually be favourable to a static rope. Dynamic ropes are built to flex and stretch when put under stress; this makes them ideal if you’re going to be using them for any kind of activity involving lots of movement.

Do you need a static rope for canyoneering?
If you’re just getting into canyoneering, here is what I would recommend. First: 30m (100ft) by 8-10mm static rope. This will allow you to do rappels up to 90 feet when used with a pull cord. Since the tallest rappel in most canyons is less than 90 feet tall, this will be the only rope you’ll need for most canyons.
Does rock climbing rope float?
Polypropylene, which does hold a good knot, is used for the sheath (mantle) of these high-strength ropes. Not all rescue ropes need to float. Important characteristics of polyester for this application are that it is hydrophobic (fibers don’t absorb water, which can weaken a rope) and it has very low stretch.
