On-sight - Finishing a route (ground to top) on the first try without ever trying it before and not having any prior beta about it, , placing your protection as you go.
Pink-point - Like on-sight, but pre-placing your protection (I wonder how many climbers are aware of this?).
Flash-ascent - Finishing a route (ground to top) on the first try without ever trying it before BUT after getting some beta about it (seeing someone else on it, or getting tips from someone).
Red-point - Acomplishing a climb on a second or more tries.
:wink: I hope this helps,

Apparently, you fall into the not aware camp. Pinkpoint is not much used these days in the hard sport climbing world, but when it is, it is not as you described.
It used to be that a redpoint meant a no-falls ascent of a route while placing pro, having previously attempted and fallen.
Pinkpoint is the same thing, except with gear already in place. It certainly implies having prior attempts, not like on-sight.

Yuji is one of the best climbers in the world, but according ot www.petzl.com, Dave Graham sent "Baston à la maison" 8C (5.14b) on first try. So how is Yuji the first person to send 8C?

And since people seem to be saying that Yuji's send was the first 8c On-sight.. it'd imply that Dave's was the former.

Many climbers now days say "first try" meaning they've worked the route, and then climbed it on thelr first redpoint attempt. There is a school of thought that would call this second try. It's somantics: not counting a work session as an actual try. Yuji is so far ahead of everybody else right now: first 8c onsight, and still the only climber to attempt el cap onsight - a feat that nobody else seems ready to even contemplate.

I was actually under the impression that Leo Houlding had tried a route on El Cap onsite at one time...though I can't remember which route. The story about the ordeal was featured in Climbing about a year or so ago, in the El Cap issue.
But, back on topic, Yuji, you da' man!! :D

In reply to: But the important thing is to have fun. Thankfully there is lots of space in climbing for people to interpret it as they choose; there are many different styles and strategies, everyone has their own personal opinion. This is what I like about climbing: it's free.
YES!!!
Great quote. So true.
