>We all face challenges and each are unique to us.

Completely random musing, but it reminded me of my height being disadvantageous when in perspective:

I'm a pretty tall guy, a little above 6'4", and have an extremely large reach --

Also a pretty avid rock climber. I can rarely climb at my gym without someone commenting about how it must be so nice to be able to just "reach" for all the holds. Ignoring the fact that I probably weigh 30 more pounds than my sub 6' climber buddies, most route setters at our gym are probably closer to 5'10" and set/grade the routes accordingly; I often end up using sub-optimal (and tiring) form on the "crux" of the route as I end up cramped together awkwardly.
