Topo

In bouldering, "topo" refers to a visual guide or map that shows the routes and problems on a bouldering wall. It typically includes images or sketches of the wall with marked holds and paths climbers should follow. Topos help climbers understand the difficulty, sequence, and layout of routes, making it easier to plan their climbs.

Examples

1. Before starting a bouldering session, Alex checked the topo for the gym to find new routes and challenges. 2. During outdoor trips, Mia always brings a printed topo to navigate and identify different boulders and their grades. 3. Jake snapped a picture of the topo at the base of the boulder to study the holds and plan his sequence. 4. Emma marked a few projects on her topo, highlighting the routes she wanted to try over the weekend. 5. While discussing strategy, Leo and his friends referred to the topo to decide the best line of ascent for each route.
