Well, yeah. You have to have a low weight but high muscles. The more you weigh, the more you have to carry. So you have to balance out weight vs muscle, and the very best have zero body fat and even try to drop to my weight in order to have an easier time.
I dunno, I've seen some huuuuge climbers in the international events that Blake watches. I think it just depends on the person's build and particular strengths (i.e., upper body vs core vs leg or some such), and it also depends on what KIND of climbing they do.
Veldrin! I had a dream about you a little while ago.
I was in a book store, and I had just found a book I was looking for and was super excited. Then I saw you and said, "OH HEY, VELDRIN!" and I put my book down so I could wave at you with both hands. You came over and were like, "Hey," and then left.
I smiled, all thinking, "That Veldrin sure is a nice guy."
But then I looked down for my book and it was GONE.
I rushed over to the cashier and asked if he had just sold a copy of the book to a big, muscular, handsome man, and the cashier said, "Yes, sir, I did indeed just sell that book to a big, muscular, handsome man. I am sorry to say that was the last copy we had."
I was very upset.
Also, this was in Amsterdam.
Also, I was a drow and everyone was being SUPER racist to me.

Well, leg strength generally dominates arm strength, and toe/finger dexterity are super important too. I can climb some moderate routes by barely using my arms at all. Or at least I could, if rock climbing was one of the greatest hazards to my health.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Okay, I'll probably get my ass kicked, but it'll be fun!

When I hadn't been bedridden for a year, and was even climbing, I could fight decently. I would never overpower people, but I had reach and speed and I was a spry fucker who you couldn't really wrestle. I did box a guy about 60 lbs heavier than me, and it took 3 rounds for him to land a hit. Partially because he had no idea what he was getting into by accepting my boxing match, and partly because oh my God he was the worst fighter ever. Also I had like, 3-5 inches on him so I literally just backed away and threw straight punches at his unguarded face.

Pretty sure the rock climbing club would put the fencing club on its ass.
Also me and a buddy of mine used to fight with those practice wooden swords...boken? They hurt like hell when you get hit, but we at least had fun fighting with him. I know he probably was holding back hit swings because I mean, at the time I was 120 and he was 185ish? and mostly muscle.

Fencers aren't ripped per se, but it takes surprising strength to do well, along with reflexes and dexterity. I wouldn't count them out so quickly

They are professors who covered foot ball gear in sheet of metal and beat the shit out of each other with wooden swords
I once was with my best buddy who I had fought with walking in the park when we saw an old acquaintance of mine, he had a bunch of foam weapons and shit and some people and they were getting ready for either dueling with the things or having little battles.
We said what the hell and did duels for about 30 minutes. Holy shit these guys were pushovers. I guess never having the fear of getting hurt means you never learn to parry.

The fourth rule of fight club is that if you haven't fought yet, keep doing it. Fighting is dumb.
Since competition is what makes me feel alive, gonna have to disagree button ya. I mean, fights that aren't consensual are dumb, but boxing or sword fights or wrasslin' and whatnot are all just plain fun to do.

I find other ways to satisfy my deep-seated need for competition that do not involve fighting because I think fighting is stupid (I should clarify that I do not classify most structured sports like federation-rules fencing/wrestling/etc "fighting"), so everyone's mileage is gonna vary here.

That just means that's your style, dude. I get that you said "generally" leg strength dominates, but that's a hard generalisation given that it's dependant on what you're climbing. I've seen people of all genders just power through plenty of climbs predominantly on upper body strength. I mean, having good strength in all areas obviously HELPS, but you can definitely tell who has more confidence in which area based on their climbing style.
I never really considered it myself until I watched a whole gang of Blake's mates attempt the same multipitch climb and I've spotted it more readily since then. But basically, climbers come in all shapes and sizes, and what I AM starting to appreciate about the sport is that there isn't actually an "ideal" build for it. It's just what works for YOU to get up the climb you need to at the time.

Well, Usagi does that, but with ships...
Just try and keep me in one piece.

I would never ever hurt anybody, to be honest
I'm a softie who's good at intimidation
(unless of course somebody's going after one of my people, then it's fucking on)
I saw a photo of Viv playing volleyball a while back, you could see her leaping high in the air about to smash the ball down hard at her opposition.
You could also see the look of primal fear in the eyes of the players on the other team...
