Re: climbing vs. hiking

Fair point. I had a friend who loved to do that. Someone at a gathering or party would mention that they climbed something, and like clockwork he'd mention that he'd hiked it.
I suppose if you wanted the shortest definition, you could say climbing is where you use your hands and hiking is where you don't.
If you wanted something definite you could say that class 1-2 = hiking, class 3-4 = scrambling, and class 5 = climbing.
But really, it is pretty much semantics and personal opinion.
