Thank you for this thread: I've always thought climbing SO BEAUTIFUL (a thought I have never had about any other sport), but probably beyond me.
My daft questions are:
1) How might being fat (which I am) substantially affect one's potential, or not?
2) How much does hand/finger strength matter? (I am UTTERLY ENTRANCED by the teeny-tininess of the fingerholds the women in those vids can hang their whole bodyweight on. Oh, amazing.)
3) Do you need good knees, even if you can learn to fall in a way which doesn't hurt the bad-ish knees you currently possess?
