Just found out, to my dismay, that I exceed the "average climber" weight the Union Internationale Des Associations D'Alpinisme (UIAA) uses to test climbing gear. The UIAA attaches 80-kilogram weights to climbing ropes, for example, and drops the weights. That's 176 pounds, a full 14 pounds under my present weight. I've lost 20 pounds in a year of rock climbing, but I seem to have plateaued at 190.
Anybody out there measure 6'2" and weigh 176 pounds without looking like a tall, hairy Ally McBeal?
