I ran across a really cool piece of free software recently. It’s called Betaflash and you can quickly and easily draw topos with it. Graphics for bolts, anchors, belays, flakes, corners, routes, bushes, trees, cracks, and more are all pre-drawn and you pretty much just click on whatever you need and plop it in.
You get the same end result that you would from making the topo in a program like Adobe Illustrator, but Betalfash is 1) free, 2) easier to use, and 3) faster to use.
It runs on Windows, OS X, and Linux, and it doesn’t take long to install. Go get it!

This proggie’s been “on hold” for some time, so the announced improvements are still to be made.
There’s another similar program (actually I believe it’s better): Beta Creator
