No doubt. I climb a lot, which by at least part of the definition, makes me a climber. But I'm 5'10" 175lb which doesn't make me a very
fast climber. Getting better at it. Paraphrasing from "What About Bob?", "I'm a climber! I climb! I'm climbing! I'm a climber!". I don't really care if I'm the best, or even good at it; I enjoy it, and that's good enough for me. Like zakk, I'm not wild about descents, but sometimes they can be fun. Flats = boring.
