Description
Top rope soloing has been a climbing technique used by climbers without partners for over fifty years. This method allows a climber to top rope climbs with a certain degree of safety, although it lacks the safety of free soloing. The technique was previously passed on through word of mouth, but the advent of the internet has changed this dynamic. Online forums, websites, and video platforms like YouTube have increased the availability of information on top rope soloing, but this has also led to a problem: a mix of good and bad advice. As a result, there was a surge in interest in top rope soloing, accompanied by an increase in accidents. To address this issue, a three-year project was undertaken to consolidate available information on the subject and integrate it with industrial rope access techniques. The goal was to produce a foundational text on the subject, which would provide a starting point for those interested in learning more. "On the Line" is not intended to be the definitive authority on top rope soloing, but rather the first step in the right direction. This book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the subject, drawing on both old and new information.
