It’s all about body type for climbing imo, people say other wise but honestly like, more reach means more results, I’m 6’2 and 17, I have a 4 inch extension on my wingspan “6’6” and went to my local bouldering gym for the first time ever yesterday, to my surprise I did a v8, and I credit it fully to being able to reach holds. Excited to go back in a few days, love this stuff. Edit: I’m 130 pounds and very skinny, I have long limbs and a pretty long pencil neck as well lol, I think I know why I was never good at any other sports

[@biggibbs4678]

It probably has mostly to do with being 6'2" and 130 lmao, that's medicaly underweight

[@aydinsha]

Of course. Anyone that says otherwise is delusional. It's like saying a 5'3" 120lb is ever going to be able to be a good defensive end compared to someone like JJ Watt who's 6'5" and 288lb. Same with climbing some short overweight person is never going to be able to be remotely as good as someone who's taller and lean.

@6:32 he admits that its mostly his long neck

[@hansschmidt3144]

what adam says from 01:13 is not totally correct. the thickness of the fingers grows not because of their strenght - as fingers have no muscles. in fact, regular intensive use of the fingers deformes the bones in shape and structure, the bones are bent which makes them appear thicker. so putting a lot of force on your fingers frequently will make your fingers thicker, but if you lose the muscles that control your fingers, your fingers will still stay thick. if you are interested on xray-pictures of these deformation, check the paper "Degenerative Veränderungen der Fingergelenke bei Sportkletterern" from "Hochholzer & Schöffl" 2009

[@tmmjppsn]

Great video!!

[@Climbwithaya]

“As I was short..” *screen says 159cm* That’s not short! I’m 5’0 (152cm) and I’m typically only an inch too short to be able to reach the holds. (These are the ones you NEED the reach) honestly, some bouldering problems are not designed for climbers who are short short. It’s physically impossible. My friend who is a v7 climber sometimes can’t do V3-4s.

[@xXChipsAndGravyXx]

Im 6ft, but am built like a damn trex (shirt arms and legs, all my height is in my torso. Its really frustrating because in my head feels like so much of my weight is in my torso instead of my arms and legs so they have to work to shift a relatively unused mass around. But i cant change who i am, and am happy just climbing for the fitness, not the number i can achieve

[@lifeasaliquorstoreclerk7611]

[@pierineri]

But a longer neck allows to spot the holds and holes sooner

[@ambrosius2882]

At an advanced level being tall is actually is a disadvantage. Most of the best outdoor or competition boulderers or climbers are below average height. In Sport where height is an advantage the pro athletes are way taller. This is caused by simple physic ( cube square law, longer levers, w = f x d, proportionally less surface area on holds, crimps are proportionally smaller, more momentum when cutting loose) who lead to decrease in strength to weight ratio with increasing height ( the same physics cause pro gymnasts to be short). Theoretically one could calculate the percentage impact of those factors in strength to weight ratio , but it is very hard to calculate the positiv impact of height and longer limbs into climbing performance as every problem is different. Taller climbers are more disadvantaged on overhangs than on vertical climbs. In conclusion you can see that top tall climbers are always physically weaker than shorter climbers but sometimes can use their longer reach as an advantage. The optimal height is 5’5” to 5’9” for men and 5’2 to 5’6” for women. Question to everyone: In my opinion competition boulders and routes should be set to favor tall people due to the fact that if there are no moves that favor tall people short people will always have the advantage because they are stronger. Do you also think high level setting should be fair?

[@outandabout259]

I am a bit under 170cm tall and have ape index of about +15cm... A bit crazy, huh? I am not a climber, I have only tried it a couple of times, but I would really like to get into it.

[@DydraLIVE]

I have an Ape Index of -6 ( 176 cm wingspan to 183 height ). I do have some problem with reaching holds with low placed legs... so a lot more foot placement for me I guess.

[@sachapurdy3306]

When can u come to South Africa Adam

[@dereinzigwahreRichi]

There's different kinds of power, explosive power and endurance. When you're quite lean you can still have a lot of explosive strength relatively to your low body weight and it's way easier to endure longer climbs as you're carrying less weight because what you carry is just you and maybe some (usually lightweight) material. So I'd guess leaner would be better. Although most professional climbers are quite lean and tall and so are the people I see at climbing gyms that climb the really hard stuff. On my local rocks I have yet to see who prevails, but I guess there it's the dudes and ladies with "the biggest balls" as bolts are sparse. ;-) BTW I'm quite short and I really cant help that. It makes me perform very well in roofs. :)

Can fingers and hands grow or lengthen in size after overall body development has ended?

No, because height or length of extremities and so on is determined by skeletal structure, which stops developing after puberty has finished.

Monke, strive to become monke, monke type da best climbing type!

[@Elpela96]

The ideal body type for an activity is drawn from averages. The best ever might be way off that average, like Usain Bolt who is a lot taller than his competitors. That doesn't mean being as tall as him makes you faster... I know MANY more strong climbers under 175 cm than over 175 cm. Adam is a clear outlier, his technique, intelligence, motivation, and more make him unique. His body is a lot more suited for climbing than the average but there are probably a few thousands of climbers with "better" genetics (physically)

[@JerryGarciaPOBox]

5'1" male here. While obviously there are going to be limitations(I know I'm never going to dunk a basketball), but I've learned not to focus on it in whatever I do. As an offshore commercial fisherman I would spend 15+ hrs a day on my tiptoes which is exhausting but never held me back. On the other hand I spent a few years building & repairing transmission lines w/some steel work mixed in(old electrical towers and cell towers). That was something that my height really hurt me. Steel was fine. Loved it & was quite good. Climbing huge creosote soaked wooden transmission poles was fine until I was up & supported by my spikes & trying to operate gas powered drills w/three+ foot long bits. I would have to get my body nearly horizontal(not cool w/spikes & old wood) just to get enough distance to bring the tip of the bit to the face of the pole. That placed the body of the drill right by my face. They frequently jam w/immense power & you don't want your face anywhere near it. God I hated those drills. In most cases it's all about learning to get the most out of your body type & to know what your limitations are.

I remember being a bit discouraged from climbing because I’m 5’5, and thought lanky guys would automatically just be better at climbing.

Every body type will be better for some types of routes. Maybe short people have better stability and equilibrium, and even more explosiveness because of the lighter load. Girls have better flexibility. IMO, tall people only have an advantage when the holds are far away enough so that short people have to jump whereas tall people can just reach easily.

I love how he says his grip strength hasn't increased since he was 7 as he can hang for about the same time. If the average seven year old weighs about 50 lbs and he could hang for X seconds at that weight he wouldn't be able to hang at the average adult weight of 196 lbs what so ever. Now that he is an adult and can hang for X seconds at this weight is a giant strength increase compared to before as he is technically 4x stronger.

[@lukehoward3407]

Yeah technically you're right, but what he's saying is his strength to bodyweight ratio has pretty much stayed at the same level.

[@mutex1024]

Climbers don't care about absolute strength, so there units of strength are normalized to their body weight.

[@forkevbot]

Its also funny because he said he couldn't do the campus board very well before he won the bouldering world championship at 17 but now is a master lol to me that sounds like progress. Maybe his weakness was his arms and not his grip which would be weird considering how well he could boulder lol

[@itsclements06]

This reminds me of a problem, I did with my dad a while back. The start meant that u had to push yourself into the wall and under a overhang. My dad struggled with it because he was really squashed and couldn't find space to reach with hi arms whereas I am samller so I found it easier to get under that overhang and then move enough to shift my weight and reach the next boulder. This just goes to show that u don't have to be tall and strong and have a wide arm span to do boulders easily and it's about figuring out how to use ur body as an advantage.
