Mt Boyce

Hey How tall are you?


Hey How tall are you? I'm 171cm. I'm telling my experience that it was so hard for me with short height to clear a route. This is QJ grade 21 at The Girl in The Mirror Wall area in Mt Boyce. I couldn't pass around 6th bolt without pulling the quickdraw. It was 2nd ledge with many crimpy handholds and with a foothold which was away to rightward from gravity line. If those handholds were big i could have moved well. It was too hard for me to move onto one more crimpy hold before reaching to a next big hold. After that i cleared all the way to its top. but my partner who was 14cm taller than me told me later that he could reach the big handhold and went through without cheating.
