Aug 8, 2021 · What is Redpoint Climbing? Simply put, redpoint climbing is when you “free climb” a route successful from bottom to top without falling or resting on the gear WITH previous information (beta) of the route. The climber would have already tried the route at least one time before unsuccessfully.
In rock climbing, redpointing means to free-climb a climbing route from the ground to the top while lead climbing, after having practiced the route (either by headpointing or top roping) or after having failed the first attempt (i.e. falling or resting on the rope for artificial aid). [2] .
Redpointing is often seen as a combination of physical and mental challenges. It requires climbers to possess technical skills, strength, endurance, and a deep understanding of the route they are attempting.

Redpointing a route involves sending it after you have tried it at least once. It doesn’t matter if you send on your 2nd attempt or 200th attempt. Both are redpoints as long as they meet the second crucial condition for a redpoint – the climber must have placed the protection during the send.
