Rock climbing ropes don't break (with a few weird exceptions). All climbing ropes that are UIAA certified are safe to climb with. In shopping for a rope you need to consider impact force (this rope is 9kN which is about average), elongation, weight, diameter (roughly correlates with longevity and durability), features (like middle marks, bipattern coloration, etc), and handling. Don't worry about "how much it will hold".In terms of holding falls the things to rely on are . 1 . The competence of your belayer . 2. the quality of your anchor placement (both when leading and top ropeing ) and 3 . the distance between your anchors ( when leading )
