This information can be acquired by seeing other climbers on it or by having a detailed description of the moves. Own experience on the route/boulder is not allowed.Red Point: Free climbing a route, no matter how many times we have been on the route before.Free Solo: Free climbing a bold route without rope or other sort of protection.Free climbing is a type of rock climbing in which the climber uses only hands, feet and other parts of the body to ascend, employing ropes and forms of climbing protection to prevent falls only.In contrast, free soloing uses no aids of any kind for protection or ascent while aid climbing employs ropes, protection, and direct aids to pull or stand upon such as jumars to make upward progress on extremely sheer vertical surfaces.Used as an umbrella term, free climbing spans four subsets of climbing styles: traditional, sport, free soloing and bouldering.The method involves a leader climbing a route from the ground up. For protection against a fall, the lead climber trails a rope which is managed by a belayer who remains on the ground or at an established anchor. As the leader climbs, they place traditional protection (cams, stoppers) or clip their rope through pre-placed bolted hangers or fixed anchors (aka bolts). The belayer feeds rope to the lead climber through a belay device, keeping a minimum amount of slack in the system, and keeping themselves ready to lock off the rope in case the leader falls. The leader climbs until the top is reached, and they can then belay the following climber from above.Both climber and belayer attach the rope to their climbing harness. The rope is tied into the climbers harness with a figure-of-eight loop or double bowline knot. The leader either places his own protection or clips into permanent protection already attached to the rock. In traditional climbing, the protection generally is removable. However, many significant first ascents in the U.S. done with a combination of crack gear and bolts placed on lead were termed traditional at the time. Usually nuts or spring-loaded camming devices (often referred to as cams or friends) are set in cracks in the rock (although pitons are sometimes used). In sport climbing the protection is metal loops called hangers. Hangers are secured to the rock with either expanding masonry bolts taken from the construction industry, or by placing glue-in bolt systems. In ice climbing the protection is made-up of ice screws or similar devices hammered or screwed into the ice by the leader, and removed by the second climber.Generally, the following diminish the perception of good style: * Pre-climb inspections (to learn the nuances of a route rather than assessing the route from a safety point of view) * Resting on gear or rope (hangdogging) * Pre-placing gear (pinkpointing) * Pulling or weighting gear Aid-style (french free) * Prior top roping (headpointing) before sending on lead * Practice through falling (generally more relevant in sport climbing than traditional)NOTE: 90% of the videos will work perfectly on all devices, but 10% of the videos might not work properly on all devices!
