Ned "The Lung" Overend is also 135#, soaking wet, besides being a genetic freak. For climbing, the weight thing is hard to overcome. Saturday a new guy came on our club ride and was floating up the hills until I wanted to challenge him to wrestle on the dirt. Everyone mentioned how "strong" he was, but he was probably 110 pounds, around half of what I weigh.
