I've downclimbed to ledges, to the ground, and to rests and still claimed the onsight.

Cool.

In reply to:
It's not a huge stretch to wait a day and call it the same.

I see now where you are going wrong. Let me break it down. You walk up to a cliff you have never seen before. You go up to that cliff, you climb it without preview, you climbed it 'on sight.'

Climb up part way, climb down, I can dig all that.

But when you climb all the way down to the ground, pack up your shit and leave? Go home to a nice warm bed and dreams of flying horses?

Then the cliff is no longer in sight.

So this leader tried, but failed to climb the cliff during his first sighting. He did not get the on sight.

Its very simple really.
