Not Everyone Is a “Tech Climber”

Lately I’ve met a few climbers who all say they’re “technical, not strong.” Like… just because you’re not powerful doesn’t automatically mean you’re technical. Real tech climbers? They move clean. They don’t pop off holds. They don’t flail through every move. But some folks—can’t hang a toe hook, always cut feet, campus everything—and still go “yeah I’m more about technique.” Come on. Maybe you’re not tall. Maybe you’re not strong. Sure. But when was the last time you said “my technique sucks”? That’s the one thing you can actually improve fast, if you’re willing. It’s okay to climb bad. But at least be honest with yourself. If you don’t wanna drill the basics, that’s fine too. Just… maybe don’t call it “tech climbing.” Leave that for the people who actually put in the work. #sport #climbing #justsharing
