I am a beginner sport climber not confident to lead yet

I would like to get more expierence on rope, outside of a rock gym.
Does anyone have any suggestions on routes I can top rope?

by yourself?

Do a search, there was a thread about toproping not too long ago.

You're going to have a hard time toproping hear at the Gorge. Post in the classifieds on this site and you'll get some people to take you out, put up some routes for you and send you on your way to leading.

You can TR the 10 wall at Torrent. Just hike up the ravine next to it and you can hang your rope from above.

being a hot, easy female would probably be enough to convince some young gentleman climbers to go out and set up some TR's. of course if you're a guy (regardless of how hot you are), you might have to offer up beer, food or your hot girlfriend to pursuade people.

nice effort, what do you mean? do you think that was some kind of path for self bennefit? i was just trying to help Mako out. i can't be the benneficiary of any of Mako's offerings cause im not in the red nor will i be for another few weeks.
i don't really understand what marathonmedic is saying, how is me being legal significant?

(That way you don't have to beg or find some random cute girl to be your rope gun.)
