Good luck. KMIII is a great handling rope but they have a mixed reputation in cave environments. Black is also probably the least desirable color underground. 1/2" is also a tough sell especially with the new Petzl ascenders, but it does make for stout handlines or an extra beefy fixed line I own a lot of rope, including KMIII and KMIII max, and for knots or surface work they are very nice ropes.
I'm not scared of the dark, it's the things IN the dark that make me nervous. :)
