Looking at the strength of climbing gear this source indicates a modern climbing rope holds around 5500lbf.

From The Engineering Toolbox , manila hemp rope that can hold around that weight should be between 3/4 in and 13/16 in, or for the other europeans between 18 and 20mm.

This corresponds to a weight between 0.159 and 0.186 lbm/ft. For 50ft that is between 8lb and 9.3lb.

I say that 10lb is close enough.

Adventurer peers over the edge of the cliff, rope in hand, anchor tied. As he turns to descend, an OSHA inspector springs from the nearby brush:

"Good morning traveler, I trust that rope you are about to use for life safety has a 20:1 safety factor."
