bouldering for short-arses 27-Jul-2009 At 7:01:01 PM shay

I spent seven months on a bouldering trip in North America and there are a few strong african-americans climbers over there. As we all know, climbing is not as lucrative as other sports, you get into it because you love it and not to make money.

Back to the original topic.....

Nat, it doesn't matter how short you are, you can be as strong or stronger than the next climber. It all comes down to training and attitude. Don't make a lack of height as an excuse. I hate hearing people whine that they are too short/tall/fat/skinny to get up a problem. Get strong and get on with it. I'm female, 5 foot and boulder V8 outside (read: i've done a few not just one!).
Above all else, have fun and enjoy what you do :)
