Irregardless of where it classifies you it means you're going to have to produce that much more power to climb with any speed.
You - 2.50lbs per inch
Me - 2.15lbs per inch
I'm not even as lean as I could be. And for all the "bigger guys put down more power" talk just remember that any amount of body fat doesn't generate power. If you're carrying an extra 15lbs its not helping you on the flat and its hurting you uphill.
