There is actually a thread on here about it. Good luck finding it though.

Reading that thread is what I love about this site.
There is cheating, name calling, rape... who could ask for anything more.

Honestly, why do you care? Seems that this bothers you? Maybe you can make some trendy lingo that would differentiate the two: 3 RA's (Route Attempts), and 22 CA's (Climbing Attempts).

Andrew beat you to it. It's called Redpoint tries. If you weren't trying, it doesn't count.

Ha ha good point Ray... tho in this case he had the additional incentive of whatever sad sustenance climbing sponsorship brings you these days... also slightly homosexual.

Almost every route I have done first try, because if I didn't send... then I surely wasn't trying.

Not that it matters, but I watched a professional female climber fall at the chains of B.O.H.I.C.A. after trying twice to clip and dropping the rope. On her 8a, she wrote "took the victory whip
".
To each their own, I suppose...
