Dru Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 it is worth noting that on Yuji Hirayama's "onsight" of Sphinx Crack 13b he climbed to the roof halfway up (5.11) "to warm up", downclimbed to the ground, then climbed back up to the roof and continued through the crux upper section so according to some of you his amazing "onsight" wasn't i like to go to smith with my laser-pointer and yell out "big hold right there" and mark the hold with the pointer just when someone is going for the onsight to ruin it for them Quote
jkrueger Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 If Yuji Hirayama does it, it's definitely an onsight; but if I do it, it's completely wrong and deserving of copious amounts of penalty slack on subsequent redpoint attempts. As for your pointer etiquette, I think the ability to claim an onsight depends on whether the "big hold" you're pointing out actually exists or not ... Quote
