I have heard some seriously strong but short climbers got shut down on Dogleg, how tall is the shortest person to send it?
On another note, it doesn't seem that being tall is an advantage to getting into the elite climbing level, anybody know how tall the tallest 5.14 climber is? ( I know Sharma is like 6'1'' but I don't really consider that tall)

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"
