I weigh 192 lbs. If you could slim down to 200 or 205, somewhere in there you should have no problem. That is if your not all fat! I weigh 192 and have less than 4% body fat, sooo..just cause you loose weight doesent mean a thing. You must loose body fat!

5'10" 135 lbs
Its been this weigh (ha, little pun...) for me since I was a sophmore in HS, now a senior in college. There was no freshman 15 when I went to school (we get served slightly worse than prison food) and even when I do nothing but drink and party for what seems like weeks, I gain nothing but 2 or 3 lbs which I can lose on the throne reading the news. It helps with climbing though, I have a pretty high strength to weight ratio. Also better for XC running, which I have been doing since HS too.

it's power to weight ratio. i lost about 25 pounds sport climbing and when i hit 150 pounds (I'm 6'1") i noticed a big change in how much easier pumpy routes got. train hard and don't over eat. it's that simple.

Ok I'm not a very big person but I got put into the heavyweight climber catagory because I weighed in at 175 at a gym user friendly comp. It was a joke, I was by far the smalles for the catagory I mean I am thin the guys I was copeting against were fat old dudes. No offence to you guys I just chalked that up to experience on your part. I am back down to 160 now so I'm still not considered a heavy weight by the gym. I think they made the cutoff at 170.

I've put on weight lately but I'm 5'10" and was 135 lbs up until a month or two ago. I'm now up to 145 which is a record for me!

Male, 46 - 5"9" 182 lbs.
Would prefer to be back around 168 - have taken up running again (4 days a weeks for 3-4 miles per session). Also do high-rep weight lifting 3 days a week. Weekends are for climbing or skiing.
So far - haven't lost much weight, but my muscle mass has increased.
Eat a pretty clean diet - fiber in the am, no red meat, no fast food, etc. - but will admit to a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale jones :wink:

i just started climbing about a week ago and have gone twice. i weigh 267# at about 6'0" but a lot of it is muscle. and the first route i did was a 5.7 and i had no prob getting up it. i took my local gym's 101 class and started with my buddy right away. anyway.... my way of looking at climbing for me is that i am my only opponent. so i'm heavier and cant possibly make it up anything more that a 5.9 but that is just my level. i don't mind. i guess that i look at a 5.7 for me as being like a 5.9 for all the other skinny kids there and it doesn't bother me, anyway i was just wondering weather or not anyone could give me any info about equipment failure for someone of my size.

I am about 5'7 and weight about 145... when I first started climbing I weighted about 150 and I have noticed a difference between then and now and I think it got easier after losing those 5 pounds.

I'm 5'10, and I weigh 170. (Good grief, I'd be a heavyweight at lidosis' gym!). I put on 20 lbs in the last 3 months (heavy weightlifting and heavy eating!), and I didn't notice too much of an effect on my climbing. Granted, I'm pushing my limits on trad lines (mostly easier than 5.11), so the story would likely be different if I was doing overhung crimpy gym routes.

6'0" 125lbs 4% body fat
I've gained almost 10lbs (and lost 2% body fat) since I started climbing; I was at the opposite end where strength and endurance was an issue due to lack of mass. I think I'm one of the few climbers that has benefited from gaining weight.
Being that skinny (I'm trying not to say weak) forces you to work on form as much as carrying extra weight (though I did manage to pull myself up a 5.10a on my second day climbing). ;)
