(Or, is there some other term for climbing a route even though you've fallen in the process?) Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe: " Sending" = successfully climbing to the top of a route, no matter how many times you fell " Redpointing" = successfully climbing to the top of a route without falling, after failing to do so before " Flashing" = successfully climbing to the top of a route on your first attempt, without falling, after only observing someone else climb it " On-Sighting" = successfully climbing to the top of a route on your first attempt, without falling, and without first observing someone else climb it Sending implies that you did not fall or weight gear in anyway. The word you are looking for is hangdogging. So, "sending" and "redpointing" are exactly synonymous? No....
So, "sending" is whenever you climb a route successfully without falling, regardless of which attempt it was or if you've seen someone else climb it?
Tell me if this is correct:
Sending is climbing a route without falling, regardless of whether you redpointed, flashed, or on-sighted. In each of these cases, you would be sending the route--but each case (redpoint/flash/on-sight) refers to your experience prior to sending it. This allows the term "send" a more general application than "redpoint," "flash," or "on-sight."
