The very best climbers are getting taller

Jan Hasenbichler has produced this diagram, comparing climbers' height and their scorecard rankings, showing that the very best climbers are generally taller. Interestingly, the diagram also shows that the sub-35-year-olds are getting taller. These stats goes hand in hand with other diagrams that have been produced by hardclimbs.info and showed in the 8a forum. The same positive correlations for height and performances can also be found in the IFSC competition statistics.
