Does that mean that a Pinkpoint can only be achieved on your first attempt but a Redpoint can be achieved on any attempt? . No. So both need to be on your first attempt or both can be on any attempt? The only difference between pinkpoint and redpoint is that the draws are already hung on a pinkpoint - but in both cases there has been at least one unsuccessful attempt, thus the climber has at least some prior knowledge of the moves. Doing something successfully on the first attempt with no prior knowledge is an on-sight. Thank you. So is there a term for doing a climb without any beta not on your first attempt? Or is doing the climb multiple times considered beta even though no one else has assisted the climber? If you've attempted/been on the climb, then you have beta. That'd make it a redpoint attempt. Like was said above, pinkpoint is (becoming) an antiquated term.
