hmmm

too many body-types are climbing the hardest shit to allow this assessment to bear weight. not that there aren't exceptions....

Actually there are a lot of body-types climbing different hardest shit. The number of body types getting on any given .15 is quite small. If the phenom that certain climbs are easier or more difficult for different shape and size climbers is one you've somehow missed or otherwise can't see the logic of then, oh well...

[sexual_chocolate]

the number of climbers getting on any friggin' 15 is small. and from that small sample, there is actually some difference.

 

take realization. sharma: 5'11" or 6'? 160 or 165? patxi usobiaga: 5'9" 130 lbs? millet(?) quite small and light?

 

seems like some variation to me.

 

but your point initially seemed to be that routes at that level are so specific that only a very specific body type will able climb it from a pool of "a lot of body-types climbing different hardest shit", and what i'm saying is that i don't see evidence of that. maybe if you listed the climbers you are thinking of, and the routes they are trying, i might see the point you are tryin gto make.

and you better be quick, cuz i'm almost out the door to go replace some suspect bolts with pins out at world wall.

I'm just suggesting that some routes may exhibit this phenom - not all, or even many - that maybe that contributed to why he didn't get the climb mentioned...

[sexual_chocolate]

oh ok, fully agree.

 

but i still think he didn't get it cuz he's a weak-ass mama's boy.
