Is there an accepted term for doing a route top-rope clean first time that includes doing it clean first time, rather than simply dismissing top-rope as being unworthy of such distinctions? Sorry you feel like you'd get flamed for asking this question. There are a lot of pricks on this forum who seem to find pleasure in treating folks like they're idiots for asking questions. I'd say 'job well-done'. A top-rope doesn't physically help you up a route. It does give mental comfort, but the actual climb, if not aided by the rope at all, is still a clean climb in my opinion. To lead it would be a bit more impressive as it would add the mental challenge as well. Where do you normally climb?
Actually my friend, you are wrong; very wrong.
Have you ever even climbed lead?
Having to lock off on one arm and hold that position while you unclip a quickdraw from your harness, clip it into the bolt and then clip your rope into the draw makes climbing lead far more strenuous and tiring than top roping where you simply climb continuously except for rests.
I've just made the transition from Top roping to lead and it is a whole new level of pumped forearms and strained fingers.
