hey what up tribe, in this video i wanted to react to toby roberts’ olympic gold run… but i literally couldn’t, because the olympics footage is owned in a way where you can’t even properly review it on youtube. so i rebuilt the whole thing using screenshots and i focused on what i actually wanted to talk about anyway: genetics in climbing, and especially morphology. i break down what you can and can’t “see” from the outside—stuff like training response and baseline physiology is hard to judge, but limb lengths, shoulder width, and overall proportions are very real limiters (or boosters) at the top end. i go deep on why toby, in my eyes, is a prime example of peak climbing morphology: around 177 cm (my “perfect height” window is ~175–180), freakishly long arms, spider vibes on the wall, narrow shoulders that make crossovers look like a different sport, and that insane brachioradialis “sailboat” popping out. then i compare him to sorato anraku (168 cm), who is still top-tier genetics, but has to climb more jumpy and risky simply because he has fewer static options. i also talk about why comps can portray a “slow/static” style as ideal—even though the most efficient style is often dynamic and flowy—because in a one-try format, safe beats pretty every time.
