what about if you are attempting the route from the ground up, you place gear and fall off. lower to the ground, pull the rope thru and get on again, and climb to the top, but your gear is pre placed to the previous high point. So is this trad or sport
FWIW I think pre placed gear is still a type of trad climbing, sure it isnt redpointing but redpointing itself is a sporto concept just like lycra
