I’m 5’6” and did it, but a long time ago. So nothing helpful to offer beyond yes it is possible, and I don’t recall an especially reachy move.There was a video somewhere on the web but think it might be lost to the sands of time...
I find Vitruvian hard (5ft 7, 6ft span), it took me a lot longer than the pit problem, easiest method I've found is using the right heel for the big move. It's a strange one as i know a lot of people that can walk VM but can't get near the pit problem.
I worked the first move of VM A LOT whilst trying Iron Man, just looking for ways to make it that tiny bit easier on the link, as I fell off there so many times. What I ended up with was:- Hold the left hand start hold as a front 3 crimp. Holding it as a pinch was much harder to get into, eviscerated my thumb and didn't help do the move (this was maybe only relevant coming from the sit though). Don't bother trying to get your pinky on, it doesn't help.

Never been (apart from climbing Jean Genie when I was a kid).What are the conditions like in winter please? Climbable now?
Thank you. Might be worth a visit then!
