weighed? NO!!! why would you get weighed- for belaying? or something like that? NO WAY!! only a reaclly mean climbing gym would be harsh enough to do that. l have never heard of that before- hope l helped- be c-o-n-f-i-d-e-n-t!! Your a strong woman! If you have to be weighed which you should NOT, know that it does not matter- dont be so frenzied about it- its only a number- ###!! ok they should not wiegh you though,.....hope l helped

No, of course not! If you are worried about belaying, (someone holding the rope while you climb), you can weigh within 20 lbs, and still not pull the other person off the ground. If there is a bigger weight difference, you can tie in to the ground to ensure you do not go flying in to the air!
Good Luck!

No but you do need to be teamed up with someone of similar weight.

no but you ought to know if you are overweight. If you are don,t fall or else your belayer will have a job holding you.

There is a top climber (ryan dunne) who weighs 18 stone.

Just make sure that the person belaying a heavier person has a sandbag or equivalent, or the climber could meet the floor in a hard impact

No. You will want to be paired up with someone of similar weight, but using an anchoring system for you when belaying might help if there is a big weight difference.

The ropes one uses are strong enough to haul up a Volkswagen.
