Which of the following do you think constitutes an onsight ascent. We are talking about the diffference between a flash and onsight ascent here. And I suppose it would be fair to add that this debate was sparked from a rather high end sport climb discussion.

Option A) Continuous ground up ascent. Inspection from the ground, no previous beta, gear (draws etc) has been pre placed.

Option B) Continuous ground up ascent. Inspection from the ground, no previous beta, gear (draws etc) placed on lead.

Please feel free to make comment on this topic as well. Note this poll has stemmed from the debate on the Japanese Ticking Machine and Quickdraws Stolen .......threads (see those threads if you are interested)
