Top-rope climbing incorporates the use of ropes and harnesses where the rope is secured to an overhead anchor point. On the other end of the rope there is usually a belayer that manages the rope to catch you if you fall. Bouldering only requires the use of your body and comfortable clothing and involves routes that are low to the ground.
