Excluded Friend from Rock Climbing Causes Controversy

A woman has caused a divided opinion after disclosing she excluded a friend from rock climbing due to her weight. Sharing her story on Reddit, the 17-year-old sought feedback on whether her actions were justified. She admitted to leaving her friend out of the group activity, arguing that it wasn’t her fault.

In her post, she recounted that her group of eight friends visited a new rock climbing center at the mall. There, her obese friend was asked to weigh herself and was told she could not participate due to exceeding the equipment's weight limit. Understandably upset, the friend requested they do something else, but the group chose to proceed with rock climbing. The excluded friend left and later accused them of being inconsiderate of her weight in their planning.

The Redditor stated she felt it wasn't their fault, but many commenters disagreed, saying the group should have accommodated their friend or chosen a different activity. One person observed, "You were already out together; you could have picked another activity and returned another day for rock climbing without her." Another commenter shared their personal experience of facing similar weight-related restrictions, comfortably acknowledging, "It's my problem. It wasn’t anyone's fault but mine."

The implications are clear: while recreational activities should be inclusive, individuals are also responsible for understanding and respecting activity limitations posed by their own circumstances.
