I asked this question a few years ago and was assured by Huffy that it was viable. In the event I didn't try the problem, and haven't subsequently, so can neither confirm nor deny the accuracy of this information.

You may get a useful answer soon...

(for the record I'm 5'6" on a tall day)

its extreamy morpho. im 6,3 with plus 5 and I can just span the holds you also have to get your legs on double hooks, there is a beastly way of doing it to avoid the span, but you have to be really strong to do it this way


good luck

my tiny friend, same height as you less ape index, can span the holds. he's strong but refuses to try, wisely i think
