User:Flagor User/Sandbagging (climbing)

Proper title..

The term Sandbagging when used in climbing refers to a person (usually a fellow climber) deliberately grading a climb as easier than it really is and encouraging his/her fellow climbers to attempt it.. This is done as a joke on the persons attempting the climb. But has occasionally backfired on the sandbagger and resulted in the 'sandbagee' achieving a First Free Ascent or a First Ascents which are special achievements in itself.
