Topo (climbing)

Topo (climbing)

A topo is a guide for a crag or climbing area. It gives details of the grade of each of the climb. It includes the length of the climbs and most importantly how to get to the area of the climbs, and where exactly each climb starts. It will usually specify where a climb is a sport climb or a trad (traditional) climb eg needing gear.
