I know you were only offering a helpful suggestion, so please don't think I was "snapping" at you. There's really no way for you to know my fitness level, since we've never met or really talked about what we like to do outside of climbing.
It's all good.
Heh-heh...So, what do you suggest, Vic....maybe have my femurs and tibia/fibulas cut a few inches?
I think my problems would be worse if I was 5'9" 225lbs. I've seen bodybuilders around those dimensions and it's uselessly huge.

No, I am not suggesting that at all. I was thinking - Lipo suction + cutting down limb replacement. I’ll trade you considering that I am too short. For reference, I am just jealous of tall people when it comes to climbing certain routes at the Red. It must be nice to just “by-pass” the crux lol. However, how would I know? I have always been 5 feet 7 and 3/10 of an inch. Heck, I could be a lot more precise on measurements, if it weren’t for that stupid metric system ban. ahahahah

oh come on, 5'7" is not short! Plus it seems silly to complain about it, there are plenty of people out there who's shortness doesn't seem to interfere at all with their climbing.

Wow, I must be getting old!
Just re-measured myself (after a 10 year laps of time) and I am now only 5'5" and 6/9th of an inch. Maybe that's why I was having some difficulties.

It's all about what has become accepted in the area you're climbing at.
In my area it is a "pussypoint" if you hang the draws and climb it NOT hungover. You only get the "pinkpoint" if you are hungover to the point of still not passing a breathalizer.
