And that's why I didn't claim it--I know jack-all about anything except the limited stuff I've done myself. :)
I agree with what you say about the tradeoff between strength and technique--my usual belay partner doesn't have a lot of arm strength, so he relies more on technique, while I have an above-average power-to-mass ratio. There are pitches that I storm up that he can't do, about equally distributed with pitches that he has no trouble with that have me falling off the wall all over the place. I have added The Self-Coached Climber to my Amazon wish list; thanks much for the rec.
