Recently I had a lot of trouble with the acceptance part when I tried some boulders many times. But I couldn't find a way to get a beta that worked for me, because I am a short person.

It's very frustrating if you know how it is meant to be climbed and you see people do it easily, but for you it is just not possible this way or at least one grade harder..

I know it is just part of our sport and I also learned a lot of techniques very early on to adjust for my height and my lack of strength (at least this improved lol).

Yes! This is the way. Height (and strength) can hold a climber back, but I find that creativeity and technique often more than make up for lack of height. There will always be the impossible boulders, but they are way less common than most people think.
