What "dyno" means in rock climbing

In rock climbing, a dyno refers to a type of move where the climber jumps or lunges from one hold to another without placing their feet on an intermediate hold. Dynos are usually used when a climber cannot easily reach the next hold with their hands or when the route requires large movements. Dynos require good coordination and timing and can be physically demanding for the climber. It's important to note that dynos should only be attempted by experienced climbers who are familiar with their own abilities and the risks involved.
