In reply to BB95:

Fatter the better for using.
Thinner the better for carrying.

In reply to top cat:

Is there a specific minimum diameter??

In reply to BB95:
Could be wrong but I think 8mm is usual off the shelf size, but you can get 8.5 and even 9 mm. Nothing stopping you taking any half climbing rope or even full though if you wanted to. It all depends on the circumstances and the likely use. I have often used a 8.6 mm 50m half rope as a confidence rope just cause it suited, but also have used 30m of 7mm accessory cord for basic confidence rope situations as it's easier to carry and pack.

For who are you intending to confidence rope? I rarely take anything more than a 240cm sling to confidence rope. Unless you mean short-roping in which case any climbing rope will suffice.
