if you fall on a route, you're clearly not trying and therefore it is not a redpoint attempt so I always get routes on my first attempt

again, back to my question from years ago.

so if someone spends an hour up there working a route, falling over and over and over at the crux, and then lowers down, how is that one attempt? I say every stinking fall on a route counts as an attempt, you lame o spray lords.

was there some satanic mind message in those capital letters?

oh, trust me, I have made my opinion well known on this subject. every fall is an attempt. doesnt matter if the falls come after 3 burns on the rope or 30 burns. in my mind, there is no "almost onsite"..either you did or you failed. it really is that easy.

I disagree about the number of attempts. Simply because I am really to lazy to count the number of times I hang on a rope and quite frankly... I really don't care. I just tend to count the number of DAYS that I have spent on a route, LOL. When I send, I send. But yeah, almost onsiting is like almost getting pregnant.

So Kipp, by your assessment, if you fall during the crux of an onsight, but then wire it by doing it 4 times in a row without falling, you can get back on and send it 2nd try?

Just noticed my subtitle, Ray, thanks. By Official Grade Raiser, I fully stand by Malice and Iniquity. As non-Official Downgrader, I would throw up Tapeworm, Jesus Wept, Mosaic, Irreverent C, Forearm Follies to 2nd Chains, etc... nonetheless, I'll take the name with pride.

If an Andrew falls in the forest and no one is there, is there really and Andrew?
