Add more toprope solo ascents options #4090

When I climb toprope solo (TRS) I want to keep track of how I climbed a route, like if I took a rest or not. So it would be great to have not just a "Roped Solo" ascent option but have a whole section like the "Top roping ascents" so I can differentiate between TRS, TRS onsight, TRS flash, TRS clean and TRS with rest.

This is in the new tick flow.

@scd we do not have the option to say that the "Roped Solo" was an onsight or an flash "roped solo" is the only option in toprope.

If we would to implement this then we have to generate a own ascent gear style "rope solo" with all the other options then..

This is already the case for free solos in the new flow.

My gut reactions is that this is the correct decision and should be continued for top rope solo, lead rope solo and aid solo: the techniques and gear required are substantially different from a conventional belay.

However, with a little more reflection I see that the solo aspect is orthogonal to the gear style. It doesn't make sense to have categories for "sport", "sport rope solo", "trad" and "trad rope solo". A trad ascent is trad whether it is rope soloed or not.

In the meantime, I have instead been marking rope solos with hashtags:
