Top-rope climbing

Top-rope climbing is a type of indoor or outdoor climbing where a climber ascends a vertical surface with a harness connected to a rope that runs from an anchor point above. The rope is managed by a partner on the ground, who ensures safety by controlling slack and providing support. This setup allows climbers to focus on their technique and reach higher levels with minimal risk, as any fall is softly caught by the rope. It’s ideal for beginners and experienced climbers alike, offering a controlled environment to build strength and confidence.
