Perfect rock climbing genetics, is it all in your hands?

So i've always wondered why i'm extremely good at climbing since young age, started at 5 now 26 at 5'11. I was that good at climbing that i could become professional with ease, but it was just for hobby. And i was always wondering why. And i think its all about having tiny hands, and having an ectomorph base physique.

1. Short fingers: strong crimp strength, more leverage.
2. Tiny fingers: More room on smaller crimps, 2vs3 finger pocket is a huge advantage.
3. Small hands/tiny fingers also compensate by giving you a stronger wrist than average.

Look at my length of the fingers and the size compared to a tea spoon, remember i'm 5'11 166lbs. Now compare your finger length/size to a teaspoon

I find that if you warm up well enough, you can fit your fingers in any pocket​​​​

Started at 5 huh? 

Yes, i was climbing trees like almost every single day from 5 to like 11 years, we were living at a place where a fruit tree farm used to be. So we had alot of fruit trees around our house.

Is this Ondra’s burner account?

Please tell me that your  suntan is natural, as you do not have a combover.

I think that Vlad made this account for the sole purpose of making this post

huh?
size really does matter...

My finger to spoon ratio is much better then yours. I'm 6' 11" and 274 lbs. I can climb 5.14 finger cracks easily and float up the local test pieces, but I turned down sponsorships because climbing is just something I do a couple time a month for exercise. I also feel I truly have an unfair advantage over the regular handed people

He is a chosen one. His index finger is longer than his ring finger.

The pinky finger looks useless though, so I dunno this might be a hoax.

The strength from my pinky transfered into my wrist. Also, as the OP said, having short fingers gives me tremendous crimp strength because of the extra leverage

That is a UIAA and CE certified finger ratio spoon. Yates only made a small batch back in 2001, so it's kinda priceless

Nice manicure - clearly the only things you climb are steps and social ladders. And I suspect you take the elevator whenever you can.

weirdest spray so far.
tiny hands, uh sure kewl.

I think he's just tryina signal he's related to Trump

I am more genetically gifted than you are. My hands can crimp the smallest edges. I'm also 5'14" and 80lbs with a +10 ape index. Good thing I found climbing at age 3 because I'm not suited to much else

think you might be on to something OP. I currently am projecting La Dura Dura and recently put up my first V16/17/18 and my hands are clearly superior. Used my computer as a backlight so y’all can witness the master hand.
