Because there is little slack in the rope the climbers fall is very limited. The anchor securing the rope is known to be good. This makes top rope climbing very safe. It’s a good way to learn to climb harder, try new routes, improve technique, or get a first taste of roped climbing. Indoor climbing gyms use top rope systems. A top rope, once rigged, can be used by a group of climbers taking turns climbing and belaying.
