Fast and Light climbing technique

Fast and Light climbing is a technique that emphasizes efficiency by minimizing gear, weight, and equipment use, allowing climbers to move quickly and smoothly. The focus is on simplifying the climb—carrying only essential items—to conserve energy and reduce fatigue. This approach often involves careful planning, using natural placements, and trusting one's skills to navigate routes rapidly. It's commonly used in alpine or mountain environments where speed can be vital for safety or success, enabling climbers to ascend challenging terrain efficiently without the burden of heavy gear.
