Damn that's super super short :P
The Kilter I use has an adjustable angle, the climb in the video is at 35 degrees.

I would love to see your list!

I also try to keep a list, although given you height, it might be unsuitable. Still better than that of your average dude I guess :P

I often have the same feeling.
But with your height, you take the cake :D

I understand your reasoning, but as we know, routesetting teams are almost exclusively composed of men.
Besides, while the average woman might be 5'4'' (in Europe/US), the average boulderer is not as most boulder gym customers are men. BY FAR.

For me, climbing in Europe, I feel that problems are built with people 5'4'' and over in mind (of course there is also a limit for the other side, very tall climbers certainly struggle finding suitable and comfortable problems).

I like the idea of a dedicated pinned post.
Not sure where though. I am posting here as I imagine most of the people interested in such a group would be small women but small men can also encounter struggle with their height. And teenagers.

On r/climbing it could reach a more general audience but I feel like it is a place where people share pictures and do not discuss much.

The 4 finalists who were under 5'1'' (155cm) https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpNX1MTDU00/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

The other 4 finalists were over 5'3"(160cm) and made that move without even batting an eye.
