Vertical caving terminology and methods > Rigging methods and equipment
A spare amount of rope that should always be added on as a safety measure when using a rigging topo, since the person who made the topo might have used a different rigging style, which was more economical. The topo might not have allowed enough rope to tie a safety knot. Additional hazards may need to be avoided which the topo did not account for, and this may require additional rope length. Failure to have enough excess rope can result in becoming stranded.
