Rock Climbing Terminology: What is Considered a First Ascent?

Raising Pro Athletes

As a rock climber, understanding the lingo is crucial. One term that often comes up is FA or First Ascent. It refers to the first person to successfully climb and send a route. On the other hand, FFA stands for First Female Ascent, which recognizes the first female to send a particular route. These terms highlight the importance of achievement and progress in the rock climbing community, and as a climber, it's essential to know and respect the significance of these milestones.
