DELICATE
in the prev post Aloysious touched on how akin climbing is to dance moves.

this time we'll chat about the word - delicate. not delicacies ah(damn im hungry). delicate. the image of climbing is very highly connected to FUIYO, MACHO, STRENGTH and the likes. those who perceive climbing as such has to have their heads flushed down the toilet bowl. instantly.

y delicate? as we should already know by now, or those who've their heads just rinsed in the toilet bowl should also know, words such as PRECISION, SENSITIVITY, CALMNESS, play a huge role in ensuring completion of routes or are essential requirements in a climbers progress. these are the 'delicate' points in climbing few take into consideration.

imagine you're rushing through a route, cos youre afraid of pumping out. and in the process you rush through the process of stepping with caution. cos u think you'll pump out. and you get past that move. eventually you finish the route. what about that footwork? if this is the scenario, you WILL NEVER learn to use your feet properly. and why? cos ur afraid of pumping out. and where does all these lead to? POOR FOOTWORK. and it'll be like this forever. just putting things into perspective. its a fact.
GET YOUR FOOTWORK AND TECHNIQUES RIGHT.

girls generally have better technique, because they do not use strength, mainly because they started weaker than most guys. but they gain more in terms of technique and that will help them in the long term. guys who just uses strength will have the worst difficulties learning the simplest techniques.

remember this word. delicate.

think before u act -sprc-
