In climbing, a pink point is similar to a red point. To obtain or accomplish a pink point, the climber must climb the route from the start, leading while clipping the rope into previously placed quickdraws as they go to the top, without falling or hanging on the rope. This differs from on-sighting a climb or flashing a climb in that a pink point can be attempted as many times as needed, so long as it is climbed from the start without falling or hanging.

The difference between pink pointing and red pointing is that the quickdraws will already be in place on the bolts along the climb. This style was first created for practical reasons. It proved very difficult to remove all runners in an overhanging route after every attempt so they were just left in place for the next go. In bolted routes this style is very common today since there is no big difference to a 'real' red-point. Yet in routes protected with removable gear (Nuts, friends...) only a real red-point (including the placement of gear, which often adds to the difficulty) will be recognized as a successful ascent.
