glassgowkiss Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) WTF? OS is OS, which on multi pitch route means ground up, no prior attempts, no falls to the top. I don't know how climbing a route in second attempt can be called OS?! The point is that if you climb half way up, and you re-climb the pitches, you'll have knowledge of the terrain, hence you'll be fresher. Here is a link I am referring to: Greenland "It rained hard and they were forced to make a terrifying retreat, trashing static ropes and making a difficult series of abseils in cold and miserable conditions. Previous trips to this region had enjoyed stable weather, but this year it was unusually unpredictable. The three later walked to one of the high points on the island, where they got a mobile phone signal and were able to contact Upernavik for a weather forecast. The report was not promising, but they decided to make another attempt, this time travelling light. Above their high point lay a loose pitch of E3, after which the climbing improved with great rock and protection on the headwall (E2). The route was completed in a 12-hour push and named Drowning in a Sea of Light (800m, 20 pitches; E5 6b C1). Apart from the 30m aid section on the fourth pitch, the entire line was climbed free and on-sight, with no bolts or pegs placed" Sorry, let's end bullshit and hype in route reporting. Probably a great route and valiant effort, but this type of reporting is not honest. Edited October 4, 2012 by glassgowkiss Quote
G-spotter Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 They onsighted all the individual pitches, so it's a legit UK onsight. Quote
glassgowkiss Posted October 4, 2012 Author Posted October 4, 2012 No, you can't on-sight the same pitch twice. WTF? Quote
Tyson.g Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Yeah and aside from the 30m aid part on the fourth pitch the route was climbed free? So technically it was not climbed free. It seems as though just pain old first ascents don't quite seem to be "cool" enough anymore? Quote
G-spotter Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 If there is, say a three pitch route and you onsight P1, come back later and onsight P2, come back again and onsight P3, then you have onsighted all the pitches. Quote

Yes, but not a 3 pitch route, which is exactly my point. If they said, they OS all the pitches, not the route, then it would be a correct statement. Calling a route OS is bullshit. Quote

That's what they are saying. You are just a dump Polack. Try reading this in English. They climbed all the pitches onsight, and except for one 30m pitch aid pitch, all free. Pretty obvious. If you had less sand in your vagina and got laid more often you wouldn't be so worried about this. Quote

No, what they are saying is that they climbed entire route on-sight, not all the pitches OS. On a 20 pitch route is a massive difference. Well, most likely you never climbed 20 pitch, technical route. What is so hard to understand, if you are so bright? Stick to sheep fucking. Quote

matt_warfield Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) I'm with Bob on this one. Ethics are ethics. And what the hell is a "legit UK onsight" anyway. An onsight is an onsight all around the world unless there is a bar and copious amounts of alcohol involved. And women. Edited October 5, 2012 by matt_warfield Quote
