In my previous life I worked in the outdoor industry, climbers had a "standard" for wingspan known as "the ape index"
Total height in inches vs. wingspan = +/-
In my case 77" vs 79" = +2 on the ape index
Somehow they thought this could give some insight into ability (reach being critical in technical/sport climbing)
Sadly it didn't take into effect weighing in at 230 lbs and not being able to pull one's sorry as... up an overhanging climb!
Thankfully water negates gravity a bit!
