I began realising the role of body weight in climbing during my youth. After some days of being sick with food poisening, I expected to feel very weak on the climbing wall, but to my surprise the contrary was the case. I was around 13 yo and had developed an ambition in climbing. From that point onwards I began seeing a connection between how much I ate and my climbing and started playing with it. I read about diets, tried to eat less, weighed myself frequently and this topic became very present on my mind. I developed an ideal of beauty of a very thin, but muscular body, started comparing my body to other female climbers and felt weak if they had thinner thighs than I had. I developed lots of very weird misconceptions about how to lose weight while not becoming physically weak/losing muscles. There were a handful of desperate moments during my teens where I thought about the reasonableness of vomiting up my last meal (luckily ended up not doing so). . I’m not sure whether I would have talked about it openly during my youth, but looking back, there simply wasn’t much room for that. While it is obvious that there is a strong connection between climbing performance & body weight/nutrition to anyone who has tried to push their climbing limits, this topic was a taboo (and maybe still is). I feared being stigmatised as being over-ambitious, expected people to tell me I should just train more instead of thinking about what I ate, feared not being taken seriously. Only when I was around 20 yo I started talking about the the role of weight in climbing with friends. I was lucky to be surrounded with people with whom we created room for ourselves for exchanging information, revising misconceptions, talking about the limits, consequences and dangers of playing with weight. The topic stayed very present on my mind until I stopped competing, but it helped immensely to talk about it in a more rational way to keep some emotional distance from my body weight.

Juliane Wurm Instagram – Being too male to be considered female?!?! . Ever since my youth I felt torn between being ‘sufficiently’ female and the dream of becoming a strong climber, which involved having muscles and thus becoming a bit more male. I felt torn between doing training exercises and standing in front of the mirror at H&M as a teen, smashing tank tops due to having muscles. At times I didn’t want to do specific training exercises, because I didn’t like how they changed my body. I disliked how my biceps grew bigger from pull-ups, how I became broader from doing push-ups. . To a certain point having muscles as a woman is considered beautiful, but the point that makes you a successful sports person is often times a little further than that. I remember an endless amount of moments where friends, family, other competitors said how the sixpack of that random climber girl is a bit too much, how her biceps is a bit too big, how her back looks a bit too muscular, how she is a bit too massive in general. Over the time I developed the notion that there are two ‘no-goes’ for a female sports person: 1) being too lean and muscular at the same time, because that makes you look too fibrous; that looks a bit too morbid I suppose. 2) being muscular and a bit chubby, because that looks too massive and I guess too male. . Most of the time I felt like I’m not representing these ‘no-goes’, but I was always afraid of getting there and felt sorry for those who represented these ‘extreme’ body types – what the heck! . I felt like in conversations about female bodies in sports the terms ‘sporty’ or ‘muscular’ are often used as euphemisms for being ‘(too) male’. This notion involved to my understanding that the transitions are very smooth – between fibrous, lean, chubby, massive,… but the underlying system is very binary – sufficiently female or too male. My feelings accompanied by this notion went up and down and changed over the years and there were times where I loved my muscles or looking sporty (mostly when I was very much absorbed into the sports environment and successful), but there were many times where I felt like the elephant in the room (usually outside sports).
Juliane Wurm Instagram – My struggle with the limits of female physique in sports or not being male enough. . As a young and ambitious female climber, when my male counterparts developed muscles during puberty, I remember feeling disappointed about the adaptations to training my body seemed to be able to. I trained harder and more often than many of the boys, while they became physically stronger with seemingly no effort. Meanwhile I became a little heavier and hoped that my body wouldn’t become ‘too female’. By doing physical/strength training I sometimes felt like I’m trying suppress my femininity. I was aware that climbing is a very technical sport and that one could come very far with technical delicacies, but I always thought that even if I’d train my hardest, my pure physical abilities would never be much better than those of an ambitious male hobby climber. . I considered competitive sports as a field where the limits of the human body could be tested and struggled with the fact that it would, in most cases, be more sensible for me to compare myself with women (especially when coming close to the limits of what’s currently possible), while men could compare themselves within the whole human group. Growing up in a society that resonated that unfair gender gaps between men and women were fought to be closed, I felt like I’m standing next to the most natural gap and had to accept that chances (of success, rewards, recognition,…) might be equal, but this body-gap couldn’t be closed. I struggled with this in climbing and during my competitive career, but also when watching quantifiable female sports on tv. I struggled with the inferiority of pure strength of female bodies at the limits in quantifiable sports.
