Having gotten pretty into climbing in the past year, I'll agree that it's an easy tendency to have. Climbing requires a lot of time and dedication to see steady improvement, and as a result, I find that it's one of the main hobbies/passions for many in the sport. Most people like to bring up their strong interests in conversation, but sometimes the jargon and general narratives around climbing can definitely be off-putting to someone less invested in it.
