Actually it is on-sight.

But if other people talk about it, it's on-cite. And if you can only send it when you're really excited, it's an on-sike.

I think your confused when your talking about mountain project it’s onsite. When your talking to a blind person they are onsite at the gym. When your making a reference to a climbing book it’s oncite. When you decapitate someone it’s onscythe. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Some people don't differentiate between "your" and "you're."

Life is a spelling bee. Never forget that.

We should really have an offsite for this discussion on onsights.

Shurely shome mishtake? Shouldn't that be on-psych? Unless you're climbing Spearhead in RMNP, in which case you're psyched to be on Syke's Sickle on-sight.

Now let's talk about "their" vs "there" vs "they're", or "it's" vs "its".

Ok.  But, you can't on-sight if you aren't on-site.

If you're a Taco Bell fan it's onshite.

You must be careful what you incite.

Aren't you forgetting our MP ticklists? Definitely plenty of offsite on-sights on here, which puts us back on site?

No insight intended. Incite only. 

I love how amenable Amurican is to waisting* time!

*Covid weight. Seems the more correcter spelling.

Best, H.

It's spelled "psych", not "sike".

Thank you, Daniel. I’d appreciate it if you’d also start a thread for rappel. The repel/rappel thing makes me weep every time.

100% of my climbs have been on site.
