Can anyone recommend me a good first rope that can be used for anything from sport and trad to ice and mountaineering?

In reply to Henrycuillin:

You'll struggle to find a rope that will do all of the above effectively.

Do you climb with other people? Do they use half ropes? If so, you could get a half rope to match up with theirs? Nice and versatile...

One of these would be a good place to start...

If you parents win the lottery then ideally you'd also have 2 of these...
