Top Rope Test 2/2

60 min

Run to the gym's top rope test standards

Equipment: Belay device and locking carabiner per athlete, youth programs belay cards

Apply it

Part two, to the same standards. Anyone who was told to work on something in part one is tested on that first.

As part one: two ropes, a coach and one athlete on each, writing as you watch, with the same two stations keeping the other eight working.

Add one thing part one did not have: a mid-climb take and a stopped lower, called by you without warning. Belaying a climb that goes to plan is the easy half.
