You'd expect there would be redundancy in their core network which is why I'm leaning towards a DNS issue... It's always DNS after all.

Some sort of DNS issue? Maybe a botched change pushed out network wide? Surely if it was a change pushed out it would be rolled back by now?

Edit: On second thought, if they've got no network & no out-of-band - it may take a while... they may need to physically visit each site to re-install the backed-up version!

This is comparing two entirely different things. Rock climbing is a very complex sport in which the physical advantages that females have, such as flexibility are of similar importance to strength. Being able to get a high foot will give you much more leverage on the stronger muscles of your legs which is especially important when your forearms are screaming at you. Female climbers are also usually more efficient than male climbers which is needed as they are on average less strong. The difference between female strength and male strength in climbers is still significant, but the difference in performance less.
