Background:
I'm an American who moved to China 10 months ago - the city I live in has two places to practice indoors; one isn't worth mention and the other is ~20 square meters of bouldering wall in a small hut the local community purchased together.
I'm about 191 cm tall and having an extremely hard time doing any of the routes set in this "gym". I believe the other people who go there (maybe 15 in all) are all below 170cm.
Problem:
As an example there is a short traverse with very, very widely spaced holds (can't cross arms, it's just too far) that are all relatively fingery. The feet are less than a meter below the hands in all cases, and I find the only way to even attempt it is to match/switch both hands and feet on every single hold, which is extremely difficult given the size of them (some I find myself matching with 1-2 fingers from each hand).
What I've already done:
I had a friend advise me that the routes just aren't set for someone my size, but I don't buy that. I feel like I have a great opportunity to learn something here if I can just figure out what it is and how to learn it. I tried searching google, reviewing some technique videos I have (the pair by neil gresham) flipped through a few books, and couldn't find anything useful. I don't often post on forums, so this is just about my first time.
I genuinely appreciate any advice anyone could give, and I assure you I will take it to heart.
I can edit-attach a photo of the route tomorrow, or maybe just a paint drawing of it. The most difficult section is 4 pairs of holds (one hand hold almost directly over one foothold) with a lot of space between each pair. The feet are fine, but the handholds are extremely small and fingery. The pairs are far enough apart that each foot move feels like bridging.
I'm using this problem as an example because it seems extremely simple but poses a substantial hurdle for me
