What body type is best-suited for rock climbing?

Daniel Wade (Rock Climbing Manager) gives expert video advice on: Why is rock climbing so popular?; How much does rock climbing cost?; What are the different types of rock climbing? and more...

I think the best body type is no particular body type, however, probably the leaner the better. It's all about balance and movement, and if you can move fluidly, it may not matter what kind of body type you have. I climb with people with all different kinds of body types. But if I had to stereotype a rock climbing body, it's probably long arms and long legs and lean.
