['m a born mountain goat. Racing days, 6'1/2", 145 pounds. Long arms and legs. Not the fastest uphill, but after thousands of feet of climbing, I still have no trouble going up. And I have always loved it. Love getting out of the saddle and doing "the dance". I've done that for some very long stretches. Much of the 16 miles of the climb out of Ashland, OR when I was limited by a 42-23 gear.
Yes, some of us are born to be climbers. We aren't all short and tiny.
