When you thought http://www.8a.nu couldn't become any more of a joke...
"Some of the best climbers, especially women, are very skinny and in fact some are even anorectic. This might be considered as one of the major problems in the climbing community. 8a feels that such climbers should not be part of the scorecard and the ranking as we do not want to promote this type of lifestyle.
Instead, we want to mention that Chris Sharma's weight is 71 - 75 kg. This gives the 184 cm tall, and probably the best climber in the world, a BMI index of 21.6. Should we make a recommendation of BMI > 17, for scorecard users?" |
