Talk:Top roping

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I thought that technically top roping has the belayer at the top of the crag, and the method described in the article is correctly called bottom roping.

Ive never heard that. Also the picture at the right is "roped soloing" not top-roping

[edit] POV

This text:

• While it is frowned upon by some in the climbing community who consider it an unpure form of ascent, some consider it one of the purer forms of climbing that is free from burden of having to place protections.

While possibly true, is a POV and would need to be sourced or even attributed. Summarizing the feelings of an entire global community without a poll is simply guessing. -Will Beback 08:40, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
