margarita - while amazing - is most certainly not 5'8"

So there's Gita for sure and maybe Alex Johnson and/or Charlotte Jouett. that's a very short list of tall women!

What about Lisa Hathaway. She's over 6' ft

I'm curious where we are going with this?

Now, if we could further filter the list to those who are still single with a facebook account.....

I'm pretty sure Maria Sharapova is 6'2" or something.

I keep that list updated for my own personal benefit.

According to data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, only 5% of women are over 5'8" tall therefore the percentage of female climbers who crush could possibly also be only 5 in 100. Since "crushing" could be naming 20 women, then only 1 of them would be over 5'8".

i get tired of being told that there are no good women climbers that are tall. i suppose this comes up when people talk to me because i am tall (5'9").

while i instinctively knew their claim was hogwash, i could never produce a counter example of a tall strong female climber. even after talking to climbers that had been around for a while we still couldn't come up with an example. now i can. that's all.

Embrace it, now you have a constant excuse to use. This is what I do.
