Found next to an established route, the new 4Matic would be a must-climb anywhere - even with the four-hour approach

It was a monumental effort by Nico Favresse, Siebe Vanhee, and Sean Villanueva O’Driscoll to free a 1992 grade VI route called El Regalo de Mwoma at 5.13 The post Climbers Spent 19 Days on a 1,200-Metre Patagonia Wall appeared first on Gripped Magazine. https://gripped.com/profiles/climbers-spent-19-days-on-a-1200-metre-patagonia-wall/

Regrettably accepting that I will not be sincerely good at rock climbing (climb 5.12+) unless I legitimately lose 30 lbs. I'm about 205 lbs now on a 6'2 frame, which puts me at a BMI of 26.3. I've become pretty large muscle-wise after switching from climbing to BJJ, since the sport facilitates & also advantages that. Even before switching from climbing to BJJ I noticed I had to use *way* more force to hang onto certain holds than other people I climbed with, just because I weighed more. Losing 30 lbs would get me to 175 lbs, 22.5 BMI, which (limited) data suggests is around where you want to be to be decent at climbing (ideally even lower).There's also a safety aspect to this. Past 200 lbs, ropes will shred more easily when running over sharp edges after taking a fall. More force just means less safety.At age 34 though losing 30 lbs is like a fantasy. I have no idea how I would even do that. Climb Mt Si 3x/week with a 40 lb pack maybe? Spouse points out that I eat quite a lot of bread per week, so maybe will start with substituting that for something else.#climbing
