Hello,

I'm sorry for the simple question (haven't found it while searching)

How do you call successfully climbing a route /toprope/ without falling or resting on the rope, having previously tried and failed to climb the route cleanly, either on toprope or lead? Like : I tried leading it, couldn't, and then retried and finished it but toprope. Or I tried it toprope last week, and this time i finished it, still toprope, without hanging on the rope.

It's not a repeat, because it's a consecutive attempt that is successful for the first time. It's not an onsight nor flashing, because it's not a first attempt. It's not a redpoint, because it's not lead climbing but toprope. I'd personnally call that "finished it" but it's not an option on Rockfax/UKC.

It is possible on Rockfax/UKC to log an ascent as "toprope redpoint" and I think that's what I am going to continue logging, but I'm still curious and I do like words Don't shame or name me a nazi for asking, thank you

It's not a category on ukc, but it's just a "clean toprope"

In reply to kottika:

Just log it as toprope RP. You've toproped it after working the moves. I promise nobody will express a concern that you've done that.

UKC can't have a category for every exact flavour of doggery. This one especially I can't see them getting the devs out of the dark cupboard for.

Appropriate that you should give this good reply; sounds like you have a lot of experience with the matter
