Dyno
01
a dynamic move where the climber jumps or leaps to grab a distant hold
What is a "dyno"?
A dyno is a climbing move where the climber jumps or leaps to reach a hold, rather than using a steady, controlled reach. This move is often used when the next hold is too far away to grab without jumping. The climber pushes off with their legs to generate upward momentum, then catches the hold in mid-air. A dyno requires good timing, strength, and explosiveness to execute successfully, and is commonly used in bouldering and on steep climbing walls.
Examples
