    Top roping has almost no impact forces. For lead/sport climbing that he’s doing there are quite a bit more forces. But it’s still safe if you handle it correctly and don’t swing too far.

    I believe the route might also be partly trad, where you have to place your own safety into the rock itself without the help of bolts.
