What is the exact definition of a gumby? When does one graduate from gumby to climber(or other rank)? Are there any good gumbies?

Well usually, when they start to lead...(in my opinion), but occaisonally, earlier.

I was just told being a gumby is a badge for life.

only for some Redpoint, most of the time its just an iron on, but some people sow that shit in with the double stitch.

There should be a special category for Redpoint
How about "R-point?"
