Is that pic of Dirt? He sent a bunch of pics to me yesterday of himself naked. I just saw one, but that looks like it could be his body.
Does anyone think I should post them on a site for all to see?

A ONSIGHT is just what it says, Climbing the route on your first try, period.
After your first attempt it is no longer a onsight.

For those that don't know, Yuji is probably the world's best onsight climber. I think I'll go with what Yuji feels is an onsight.

It is also entirely legitimate to downclimb (without weighting the rope) to a place where the climber can rest, including the ground, and this is also a common method employed on hard onsight ascents.

When you downclimb to the ground leave and come back its no longer an onsite.

I was there when this happened and Im not sure about the whole onsight thing. I think I heard about climbers in europe who climb up and down routes to figure them out, they still count the climbs as onsights as long as they dont fall anytime. I've seen the guy who attempted the route climb before and I'm almost sure he would have sent it no problem if it was dry.
