Saying you 'climbed' something is a good ego booster.
Telling someone that their climb was actually a hike is an even better ego booster.

Slower than 7.5 mph (8-minute mile) is jogging. That may be an exact number, by the way. I need to check wikipedia.

Which proves the thread has been hiking.

Are all mountains climbed? or are you only climbing when, you are using your hands, and feet (scrambling)? Or is it climbing only when your using a rope ( class 4, or 5), What about glacier travel?
I would say if a person is scrambling, they are climbing . Just looking for some ideas, what people out there think?
