Publisher's Synopsis
Top rope soloing has been a climbing technique employed by climbers without partners for fifty years, allowing a climber to top rope climbs with a certain degree of safety lacking in free soloing. For various reasons, these techniques were never formally codified or documented for others to learn from or build upon; instead, they were passed on through word of mouth. Written by award-winning author and climber Andy Kirkpatrick, 'On the Line' is dedicated to the subject of top rope soloing, covering all current theory, technique and equipment.
