If it is a climbing rope, bear in mind it will be dynamic (so a bit bouncy/elasticy). This probably won't be a problem, but if you don't intend to climb, then you could certainly lighter alternatives to a dynamic climbing rope for day to day use.
Good idea to carry a rope though, I normally stick to thicker paracord personally. Very light and very strong, but I wouldn't want to be climbing with it!
I don't carry a rope often, as they're heavy and bulky. I sometimes carry a short length of semi-static rope and/or some etriers (aid climbing webbing ladders) if the Old Man or Missus is with me and might need a hand up or down a steep slope for example. Otherwise I tend to avoid hauling it around unless I'm actually climbing. If you're only wanting it for a hand rail, you can get confidence rope at Decathlon which is considerably cheaper just don't try climbing on it! Never a bad idea to learn how to tie a figure 8 on a bight and figure 8 follow through either, they're very useful knots for heavy load bearing.
