1st go?

Where do you find the "first go"? I think you are right, for me, the "first go" means either the onsight or flash go.

For me 1st go is when the route shares some holds with the route you already did or when you touched some holds or try some sequences while lowering from neighbouring route and than do the route on your 1st go.

Saw it severel times on some logged ascents!

Thanks for explainig....

In France a lot of people says that. It means : 1- you put the draws in, try the moves, the beta ; 2 - you send it on the next go. In 8a.nu it's 2nd Go. But you can say that you send it on your 1st try because the first time you got up the route you just try the beta. So no onsight or Flash, in this case 1st try = 2nd go

If you climb a line which has a variation at some part but shares plenty of bolts with another one which has its own name and grade and you have already climbed, it could be unfair to say its flash/os. I just had this in Sardinia where you have a line which climbs for around 15m at ~6b/c and then has two distinctly bolted 7a endings - left amd right. I flashed the first one and then did the other one 1st try. So technically its an OS of the crux only. I had a bit of a think and decided to count it as os but this is certainly a yellow card :))))) i wouldnt do it if it was near my max grade :)
