Rope Solo (LRS + TRS)

Self-belay setups for lead and top rope soloing, plus the backups that make them sane.

Rope soloing is gear-critical: it’s all about redundancy and rope management. Two points of attachment, always.

Lead rope solo (LRS)

• Primary device: [dedicated LRS device]
• Backup: [second progress-capture or friction hitch]
• Rope: dedicated [static/dynamic, length]
• Ground anchor: [sandbag / cams / bolted anchor]
• Rebelay / bottom anchor kit

Top rope solo (TRS)

• Primary progress capture: [device]
• Backup device: [second device or hitch]
• Chest harness: keeps the devices upright
• Edge protection: for the rope over the top

Shared

• Cordelette + slings for building and backing up anchors
• Extra lockers: always more than you think you need
