SUMMARY:Solo Top-rope Systems
DESCRIPTION:Do you only have a couple hours after work? Has your partner bailed out again? Are you feeling bad about making belay slaves out of your friends while you work a project? Top rope soloing is a very safe\, time efficient way of getting a lot of climbing that doesn’t require a partner. Learn how to utilize micro ascenders and rope clamps such as the Petzl Mini Traxion in conjunction with fixed point top-rope anchor set ups to rig effective\, easy to use\, self belayed climbing systems. When done correctly top-rope soloing can be as safe and predictable as regular
