I remember thinking Steve Petro (Nitro) was a big guy. At least he looked big in the magazines. Not sure he ever climbed 5.14 But he definitely cranked out some hard cracks.

Fred Nicole? He was in Colorado a few years back and we met. He seemed fairly large. Anyone?

Thinking BITD it was Yaniro who did the first 5.13 .. Largo and others very capable were around but i do not think ever repeated what later, was rated 13c, a now largely neglected upside down crack near Tahoe... too hard for the 5.14 climbers?
Brett Maurer, Tony, and Levitt ,are all about 5'8".. ok Carson is taller at maybe 5'91/2"? all but Brett were 150 or less. Brian Jonas, Mike Waugh?? all smaller people.
As for forearms, the 100th issue of Climbing featured a photo of Tony's highly vascular forearms after doing a demanding crack off Geology Tour Road in the lost pencil area, the detail that was not in the caption, the photo was taken after 7 consecutive laps.
edit: sure would be fun if someone posted that.
