we need a new term

so I was reading the TNB newsletter from Climbing mag, and decided that we finally need to differentiate on the gender of the FA.

from now on, please use FMA and FFA when spraying.

thank you.

You're right ... "Kipp" sounds like a girlie name so let's make sure everyone knows that the bolter/FA'r wearing a skirt is in fact, a dude.

huh so spraying and climbing are the same thing. ok I get it. I'll be up to lots of spraying this fall after the marathon.

Yeah, but wouldn't FFA still be ambiguous? First Free Assent?

Typical, typical. What about "First Transgendered Ascent"?

Now that I think about it, I guess we would really need to specify "First Male to Female Transgendered Ascent" and "First Female to Male Transgendered Ascent." What about "First Ascent by a Person who does not Self-Identify as Gendered"? Don't we have any respect for First Ascentionists?

I think we are witnessing early Alzheimer's. So sad.
