It was already a 1x set up, so I'm not too concerned about that, it's more the ring size jump, also the cranks I'm considering buying are sram, so probably not worth it if I have to buy a new chainring for them.
I don't know how fit you are, but my lowest is 19 inch and climbing offroad on a packed bike I'm often on it. But I'm far from skinny and also not an experienced climber.
