Is it still a redpoint if you place gear between bolts

I am learning to climb trad and was just curious, if I practice placing gear on sport routes between bolts, does it still count as redpoint if I send?

I mean you climbed the climb, how you protect it is up to you. have fun learning and stay safe!

...usually cracks arent bolted.

If you climbed it without weighting the rope it is a redpoint

Is this question for real?

If you drive 65mph in a 55mph zone is it speeding?

If it is on a Tuesday and you scratch your left ear before you place the gear, then yes, it is a redpoint. On all other days you have to just have to place all the gear with your left hand and bark like a dog at the end of each pitch.

What if you place bolts between gear?

what if you just climbed and enjoyed it? Does that still count?

What if you put your toes in a finger crack?

NWA is the new IAD

You guys are funny. If you're leading, and don't fall or use the rope or pull on the gear, of course it's a red point. But if you've already placed the pro and are just clipping it on the way up, it's a pink point. And if you use a knee bar rest anywhere on the route, it's a magenta point. And if you think my response is lame, that's a valid point.

I think placing gear on sport routes is a great idea if you're trying to learn trad. But that's beside the point.

It's not a redpoint unless you write a letter to the route opener and give him the chance to explain why he didn't put the bolts where you wanted them.
