Top Party
A pitch, the rope you brought, and a plain reading before you leave the ground.
02
See the pitch beside the rope
Open a pitch on the card, pick a rope, and Top Party shows the wall next to the usable rope. The reading is one of three words you can take in at a glance.
03
Keep the walls you come back to
The library holds each pitch by name, wall or sector, height, and a note. Mark it as a gym wall or a crag line, then look at all of them, only the gym, or only the crag. Search by name, sector, or the note you wrote. A few example pitches are already there, and you can add, edit, or open any of them on the card.
GymIndoor walls, saved with the sector and a note for next time.
CragOutdoor top-rope lines, kept the same way.
SearchFind a pitch from its name, the wall, or your own note.
04
The ropes you actually carry
Ready-made singles are listed and ready to load onto the card. If yours is a different length, save it with your own label. Switch the whole app between meters and feet — the card, the library, and the reading all follow that choice.
30 m single
40 m single
50 m single
60 m single
70 m single
Your own length
05
Leave room for knots and a little give
Set aside length for the tie-in, the stopper, and the figure-eight at the belay. Add a backup knot only if you use one. A stretch control lets you account for rope give before you read the result. Knot amounts can be put back to their starting values at any time.
06
Notes you mark yourself
A short checklist sits with the reading: partner check, rope end on the ground, and knot dressed. Ticking a note does not change the reading. It is a reminder, not a substitute for looking at the harness, the knot, and the rope end yourself. When you want the numbers in another place, copy a short length summary.
Partner checkHarness, belay device, and a shared plan before you leave the ground.
Rope endAfter knots and stretch, the free end should still reach the ground for lowering.
Knot dressedTie-in and stopper tightened, strands sitting cleanly.

Frequently asked questions
- What is Top Party for?
- It lines up a pitch with a rope and shows whether that rope looks long enough, marginal, or short.
- Can I use it in the gym and outdoors?
- Yes. Save a pitch as a gym wall or a crag line, and browse them together or separately.
- Can I add pitches that are not in the examples?
- Yes. Add a name, the wall or sector, the height, and a note, then open that pitch on the card.
- What if my rope is not a standard single?
- Save it yourself, with your own label and length, and load it the same way as the ready-made ropes.
- Can I work in feet instead of meters?
- Yes. Choose meters or feet once, and that choice is used on the card, in the library, and on the reading.
- Does the checklist decide if the rope is long enough?
- No. Those three notes are reminders you tick yourself. They do not change the reading, and they do not replace a real check with your partner.
