> I agree mostly, from these suggestions it seems the best alternative, but generally I am not convinced that any of these are actual legal restrictions (climber is not a category of users foreseen by the law in Germany). I also believe that climbers are indeed a subgroup of the general public (it is sufficient to declare yourself a "climber" and you will be entitled to use the path, but you generally won't do this nonetheless for the practical reason that the paths will normally be dead ends, and this is also a reason why these paths won't create much trouble for routing regardless of their access tags)
especially in this area [1] climbing paths are often beautiful bypasses,
so I think we need some access tags to distinguish. But you are right if
you want to use them you just need to carry some climbing equipment with
you.

In my opinion these paths shouldn't be used by default and we need a tag
to ensure routers and renders have a possibility to do so.

access=destination
destination=climbing

seams to be the best possibility
