Over the years men and women have become increasingly more competitive in the sport of rock climbing, which has caused more people to become aware of the phenomenon of gravity. Gravity of course is one of the limiting factors in climbing, the heavier you are the stronger you need to be to over come the gravity on your body. People see up and coming climbers that are able to climb a very difficult climb after only a year or so of climbing, and most people have taken ten years to be able to climb the same grade. In many cases where a male or female athlete has had a eating disorder which has made their strength to weight ratio very high. This has enabled them to climb very difficult climbs with out having a lot of experience in climbing. This has caused many competitive climbers to develop eating disorders to help and control their body weight. The problem with this is with eating disorders people are more prone to injury and many other physical and mental side effects as well.
