The Core Rope Curriculum is divided into 8 levels, which provide a rough scale for how much experience a person should have before attempting a certain tie. All suspension techniques are in Level 3 and above. Depending on how intensively you are practicing, a level represents between 4 months and 1 year of study.

The level of each tie has been determined by Topologist based on its complexity, risk factors, and relationship to other techniques in the curriculum.

This is an automated count of how many prerequisite techniques a particular tie has; it's a very loose indicator of how long it would take to learn that one technique starting from scratch.

This is an automated count of how many techniques require a particular tie as a prerequisite; it provides an approximate indicator of which techniques act as the most fundamental building blocks for more advanced ties.
