Will a length of rope with a mass of 500 lbs and with a tensile strength of 500 lbs break if suspended?

I was watching the scene in Princess Bride where Andre the Giant is climbing up the long rope up the cliffs and was wondering if that rope could or would break under it's own weight?

Every point on the rope will only be holding up the weight of the rope below it. So the only part of the rope that would experience the full 500 lbs of force is the segment of the rope at the very top.
