But damn, if I could do it, I wouldn't have gotten my ass kicked so bad on my last outing to Index. Quote

sexual_chocolate Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 You guys are all overweight and too big for climbing, IMO. Â I'm 5'3", 112 lbs, and it's a serious advantage for hard red-points, no matter what anyone else tells you. Quote

Alpinfox Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Â mass is related to volume, Â No, density is related to volume. Mass is one dimensional. Â WHO'S SQUARE NOW!?!?!? Quote
sexual_chocolate Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Dru, only in your case is density constant. Haha. ha. ha. Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 No lard. BuLGIng muscles only. My legs weigh more than you guys. You are all girly girls. I have to watch where I step so I don't break you in half. Quote
Dru Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 I bet a #0 circlehead won't even hold your bodyweight let alone your fall Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Seriously though, I like the different types of climbers. I love watching a featherweight glide up a steep route. I also like to see raw power or grace. The heavier (not fatter) you are, the more technique really matters. Good climbers come in all shapes and sizes. As far as safty, I think the gear can handle it, you just have to make sure there's good gear off the belay and that your belayer can handle the fall, which are things all climbers should do anyways. Theres no way for me to get much lighter and be healthy so I never worry about my weight. I just have fun doing what I can do. Thats all I can do. Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 (edited) I bet a #0 circlehead won't even hold your bodyweight let alone your fall Who cares? What can I do about it anyways? I've never blown an aid placement nor broke a hold due to my weight. I've learned to climb and do whatever I do at the weight I'm at. I place gear based on what I feel will hold me. Â Plus 175 is the weight of the "average" climber right? Well 200 is just 12.5% heavier. You guys act like 200 plus pounds is an astronomical difference or something. 12.5% is peanuts.
