Rope Climbing

I've read a number of posts here and elsewhere regarding rope climbing in general but I haven't turned up much about the specifics. Before I set up a huge forearm-burning rope in my yard, i'd like to know if there is any standard diameter used for climbing ropes? How many knots are used (if any) and where about in the rope are they placed? In preparing and conditioning for selection is it better to use a thicker rope than narrower? I'd check the o-course my unit uses but it's an hour away from here. I'd appreciate any help, Thanks in advance gents.

If anyone is wondering about rope climbing techniques, peep dis:
