[Tagging] Climbing access path

[Tom Pfeifer]

If I understand Karsten correctly, the limitation is not about payment,
it is to limit the number of people using this path. This would be
typical for climbing crags in http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Conservation
areas.

A typical example is the sandstone climbing in Saxonia/Germany, which is in
a national park that even has a core zone.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1595534

The agreement between the protectionists and the climbing associations
is that only people "destined" to climb should leave the hiking paths
marked for the general public and use those narrow access paths.

Thus it would be possible to tag
access=destination
which could then be specified with
destination=climbing
