I have heard some seriously strong but short climbers got shut down on Dogleg, how tall is the shortest person to send it?

I consider myself short, 5'7" and I haven't been on Dogleg yet, but it looks doable at my height. Harder, but doable I hope.

I know Greg K did it. but I am not sure how tall he is, because his hair is kind of big. Oh, and everyone one is short compared to me and heavyc.

I'm 6'5" and I hiked it. Height is definitely not an issue with this route.

ps I have a positive 8" ape index too. So, really anyone should be able to do it.

Lynn Hill is under 5'6", so I hear. Kauk is not much more. The guy who sent scarface at Smith too.

I think you missed the point, I know there are tons of great short climbers, what I was interested in was are there any elite climbers over 6"2"
