The rope is a bit different, and I've no idea of RRP, but if you're a climber then a screwgate, 15m of 8mm, a Grigri and an old harness gets you 95% of the way. Add an aid hook and you've got basically the full kit. In an emergency a bolted in desk leg could work as an anchor, or put something across a doorway or window Die Hard style.

Substitute a traditional descender for the Grigri and you're going to be even cheaper. Sub a retired rope and harness and you could probably have a kit under your desk for about $0.

But that's just me being a tight-arse. I'd look at where you're likely to be, and where you could stash stuff for a foreseeable emergency.
