This refers to Certified Belayers being shown how to perform Top Rope climbs on more advanced overhanging geometries where the belaying and climbing takes place from up on the top of the bouldering features. A prerequisite to accessing this specialized type of top rope climbing, where you learn how to employ Redirect Hooks to prevent an unwanted early swing from an ‘early’ top rope fall, where the swinging climber could swing down into features or other participants on the deck, is to already have Top Rope Belay Certification and a good amount of previous standard top rope belaying. The ATR type of climbing is restricted to Certified Belayers only, uncertified climbers are not allowed to participate in this more specialized type of climbing/belaying until they become Certified Belayers. This advanced training takes place up on top of the boulder features WITH A STAFF PERSON and covers the technical differences between ‘regular’ top roping and ATR.
