FTC Motors and Minibot

Our minibot team says that if we gear the motors to the wheels 3:1, the minibot won't have enough torque to get up the pole. Doesn't the motor gain torque by gearing it down like that, 3:1? Shouldn't the minibot climb the pole better if it is geared down than if the motor is attached directly to the wheel?
