bouldering – What is “Redpointing” in climbing?

skywalker — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 21:11:53 +0000

Question by Glen: What is “Redpointing” in climbing?
I just got back into climbing (bouldering) and keep seeing the word redpointing but don’t understand what it means. It wasn’t around 7-8 years ago when I was climbing.

Best answer:

Answer by Kasia
In climbing the term red pointing is derived from the German term rotpunkt (point of red) coined by Kurt Albert in the mid 70′s at Elbsandsteingebirge. He would paint a red x on a fixed pin that he could avoid using for a foot or hand hold. Once he was able to Free Climb the entire route. He would put a red dot at the base of the route. In many ways this was the origin of the free climbing movement that led to the development of sport climbing ten years later.

Traditional climbing ethics require that all the protective gear be placed on lead.

Modern Sport climbing ethics consider it a red point if you successfully climb a route to the top without using or weighting the gear or rope, preplaced quickdraws are allowed. This was formerly known as a pink point.

rock climbing – Can anyone recommend a good rock climbing shoe for a beginner for no more than £40?

skywalker — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 19:12:00 +0000

Question by Rozza: Can anyone recommend a good rock climbing shoe for a beginner for no more than £40?
Also,
Anybody know any shops where I might find a beginner value shoe?

Best answer:

Answer by InTheShadows
As I say to all folk who ask about climbing shoes, only you can answer that question, you need to get down to the shop and try a fair few on so that you can decide which feel best and are comfiest for your feet. What feels best for me will almost certainly not feel best for you (I have oddly shaped feet!).

Big name brands do not always represent the best quality or value, so choose a shoe based on how it feels and looks, not who makes it or because someone on Yahoo! Answers says it’s really good.

You mention pounds so I’m assuming you live in Britain. If you do then I would say the best place for quality, low cost climbing shoes and much other gear is Go! Outdoors, and they now have a bout 12 branches; I’ve given a link to their site so you can find a store near you.

Other good shops with a few branches in Britain include Decathlon, Ultimate Outdoors and Outside; I’ve given links to their websites too.
