Logic issue: Attribution of style icon can be incorrect for multipitches - example given

Open l33cuj3s opened this issue 2 months ago • 1 comments

The following ascent of a multipitch erroneously attributes "onsight" to the ascent at the route level. Note the crux pitch is pitch 5.

The individual pitch attributions are accurate. The route's style classification should be flash, not onsight.

There might be some discussion as to whether you could claim an onsight of a multipitch by swinging leads (onsight, clean second, repeat) but in this case, you would have needed to onsight the crux pitch.

I'm sure there'll be some discussion around this one - however the theCrag's listing of Khosro's ascent of Stiletto as onsight is simply incorrect.

Yes. it's a logic issue. But the tick type for the overall route is also set manually by the recorder, and not automatically set based on the individual pitches, so he/she entered it wrong.

My opinion: For a multipitch onsight you need to lead every pitch. No such thing as a seconding onsight (or toprope onsight). Thats at most a flash in both cases.
