I clicked on this forum because I frequently climb/scramble for 9-12 hours in one day and am always trying to find ways to consume 4000+ calories that can fit in my pack, while staying healthy.

You can take a gradual approach, but you end up essentially being vegan and eliminating coffee and alcohol for a few weeks.

I'd say don't focus so much on your weight. As others have said, take measurements of arms, neck, waist, legs, etc. If it's available at the gym you go to get your body fat tested, and retest it again in 2-3 months. If you keep doing what you're doing I can almost guarantee you'll see a change. Also, regarding the food…
