Have you checked your weight to height ratio? You can be 240 pounds and 6' 10". That is 2.92 pounds per inch. I am 5' 5" and weigh in at 136 that is 2.09 pounds per inch. I am at the lower end of the chart for my weight. Where as 240 is at the upper end, even for some one 6' 10". Bottom line try to move toward the middle of the scale, you are definitely to heavy. Gee if I was 240 my ratio would be 3.69 pounds per inch. That would be obscenely obese. Climbing is a sport, got to be in shape for it, no ifs and buts about it. Lots of good beta given already in this thread on how to loose weight the safe way. Good luck, and rock on my friend.

Can we draw any useful conclusions from this thread? In particular, which weighs more, a pound of trad climbers or a pound of sport climbers?

I am 5'11'' and weigh in at about 165 lbs... I'd be 10 lbs lighter if it weren't for all the damn donut shops up here in canuck-land... :lol:
Being lighter certainly helps, but sooner or later one has to focus on improving technique to get passed cruxy moves and conserve energy.
Anyone know how to figure out you % body fat??

Can someone make a database from all this info? That way, before you set out to royally flame someone, you can check the database to see if he / she is bigger than you.

Great idea, Pirate.
As for my height/weight ratio, I have one of those bodies that defies averages. I'm built wrong for climbing...I'm all torso and have the bone mass of an African rhino. Anyway, I am currently 232lbs/6'2". (That weight figure is correct, those of you keeping track will note my previously stated weight was as of a whole week ago.)

The trad climber would weigh more. They've got a lot more gear.
Anyways I'm 6'0 and weigh 175 on a good day. I normally vary anywhere between 165 and 175 depending on the time of day.

Well, I'm 5'3'' and weigh about 105 pounds. Pretty nice on some stuff, but I actually probably need to gain more muscle mass. I'm kinda weak. :roll:

Oh, I've heard the original joke! A pound of trad climbers. Everybody knows sport climbers are just a myth.
Oh relax, I'm just kidding. :)

Actually, once you get outside of North Carolina, your chances of getting lynched for sport climbing decline dramatically.

Two arguments:
1. A pound of trad climbers. Everyone knows that sport climbers are hollow, insubstantial beings.
2. A pound of sport climbers. They hit the deck way more often than trad climbers.

6' 2" and between 180-170 pounds depending on how much i have to eat that particular day. if you want to lose weight, go on gruelingly long hikes (30 miles +) with little in the way of food. You'll shed pounds like a dog sheds fur.

Ford checking in here... and still the winner in the height to weight ratio. We're talking 5'3" and 185 lbs. I still work the overhangs at the gym when i can. my peak strenght is HUGE. I could crush bones with my grip, but only for 10 minutes a day. (ONE overhang per session, please.) Any tips for improving endurance??
---Ford----
p.s. Yes, those numbers are correct. Beore you start with the short jokes, remember i can twist yer fool neck off like a bottle cap. :lol:
