    One of my sister’s friends was a world class rock climber with a missing leg and always said something similar, that he had some advantage because he weighted 15Kg less.

      Haha yeah right, as if weighing a measly 15kg less outweighs (no pun intended) missing a leg.

      Bro straight up wouldn’t be able to climb above a certain level due to his disability

      Rock climbing I imagine is lot more about hands than legs, so that sounds plausible, if 15kg penalty is not overweighted by having 1 more leg.
