Yes! My baby brother does a certain amount of semi-serious climbing (he lives in Bristol, he goes on climbing holidays, it's not his job but he is considering the merits of at some point quitting the job and opening a climbing wall), one of my exes did a bunch of similarly semi-serious climbing, so I've got a degree of appreciation from that angle that possibly isn't actually obvious to you (and also I had the kind of childhood that did involve messing around climbing walls a bit); most of my experience with How Do Different Rocks Behave For Moving Around On is very much in a context of hiking (and fieldwork) rather than in a context of climbing but is definitely a thing I nerd about. ;)
