1) As a shorter climber, how do you compensate for your lack of height on routes that might require large moves. I love climbing because there is no single 'best' body type, and would like to know how you make your body type work to your advantage!
2) I'm curious to hear about your perspective as a professional female climber. Do you feel that women get treated differently then men in the climbing community, or get the same recognition for their achievements? I'm interested because climbing to me seems like a sport where the innate physical differences between men and women matter less then they might in other sports.

Hi Lynn, huge fan! I've got two questions:
1) As a shorter climber, how do you compensate for your lack of height on routes that might require large moves. I love climbing because there is no single 'best' body type, and would like to know how you make your body type work to your advantage!
