- jfengel 5y agoRock climbing finger strength is almost entirely about pulling. Not pulling yourself up, but resisting falling, so that your legs can lift you up. That can involve a lot of squeezing force, especially with the fingertips. It's not impossible to find a move where you push out. Perhaps you might do it when wedging your hand into a crack. But even then it's pretty rare; you usually count on your arm to wedge your closed fist. As the GP said, pushing with your fingertips just isn't very strong. So rock climbers rarely do it.
