Redpoint

In lead climbing and sports climbing, a "Redpoint" refers to successfully completing a route from start to finish without falling or resting on the rope, after having previously practiced or attempted it. The term signifies that the climber has already attempted and learned the moves on the route but is now able to climb it cleanly in one continuous effort.

Examples

In lead climbing and sports climbing, "redpoint" refers to successfully climbing a route from bottom to top without falling or resting on the rope, after having previously practiced or attempted the climb. For example, a climber first attempts a challenging overhang route. After several attempts and falls, they study the moves, refine their technique, and finally climb the route cleanly, without any falls or rests, thus achieving a redpoint.
