from 8a.nu "Mayan Smith-Gobat, one of the best female allround [SIC] climber, has greenpointed China Doll"

any thoughts or comments on the terminology "greenpoint"?

has this already been discussed? (0 results for 'greenpoint' in forum search)

I thought a greenpoint was when you aided on vegetation...

I reckon Patto summed it up in the other thread...

>Another name made up by sport climbers where one does not simply arrive at the climb and go up.

Best recent brownpoint was the olympic cyclist who remained on his bike even though his seat exploded. Didn't go so well in the rerun though - must have weighed on his mind.

I recon they should award the Brown Jersey in the Tour de France for the person coming last

I think Sharma coned it originally . . .
I think it's when you off-sight something but you can't really remember doing it . ..

Or was it that a real nice bud is placed at the high-point and whoever tops out, chops up . .
Dave would probably know . . .

Brilliant!

If you've done enough cones you're not sure if you actually just redpointed that climb or just imagined it!
