- That another joke - ever tried a UIAA 9 (5.12 -5.13) without POWER ?
-
- Technique is very important but if you're goining to higher grades technique is
- a necessary condition - the limiting factor becomes power and endurance.
-
- But a good news for Laura:
- My girlfriend climbs about the same grades as me: mostly UIAA 8 on sight and
- UIAA 9 redpoint BUT she has quite a bit less power and is 20 cm shorter.
- So there must be something else than power.
-
- She makes 8 pull-up at most. So pull ups can not be a limiting factor.
