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.

TL;DR Good buy, not for saving you from a drop but to keep you from dropping.
Because this is a static rope its not meant for Extreme climbing. It doesn't stench like a climbing rope would, you would break your back falling off a wall. However for light stuff, climbing a tree or a small wall you should be fine but you will still hurt your back with a half harness.
I was able to use this for pulling my truck out of the mud, wrapping it around the tow hitch on both ends a couple of times to make it thicc and it was able to hold just fine.
