The World According to Jimbo (for my own little world)

Sport Routes

No drawers - No beta - First shot = Onsight
Drawers - no beta - First shot = Onsight (coz really, its a sport bolt, having the drawers on isnt going to tell you where the bolts are), but not as "pure", so bragging rights goes to the person who did it putting drawers on first shot no beta if u want to slag off around the camp fire
No drawers - beta - first shot = Flash
Drawers - beta - first shot = Flash
Anything else = Redpoint
and for those who follow 8a.nu.... 2nd shot does not count if you dog your way up, and spend the next hour rehersing moves over and over again and basically reclimbing the entire route without touching ground again.

Boulders

Flash - first time bum comes off the ground/holds pulled onto.. Scrubbing/chalking/cleaning/ticking permitted
Redpoint - everything after that

Just my 2c
