Tucker Tech

Opinionated, intelligent, out-spoken and grubby, Tech truly lives the life of the world climber. His prolific climbing career and beer consumption are nothing short of legendary. His stinky feet, he wears no shoes other than climbing shoes, have disgusted generations of climbers, and his ability to endure uncomfortable and difficult situations is well known. He’s been on the cover of “Climbing Magazine” more than once, and his new route activities at Joshua Tree is unfathomable for most. He can do over 100 new routes in a year and has done over 600 different climbs in a season. Many of his first ascents have, what some would call inappropriate names, but in Tucker’s world things aren’t’ quite the same.

A strong climber, he rarely falls or fails on a climb, and his trademark tie in is a swami belt with no leg loops (good thing he doesn’t fall much)!

Tucker climbs every day, and his days off are only when he can’t find a climbing partner. He will go to Queen Mountain day after day if someone will go up there with him.
