... But one thing I learned from mapping my own area: the maps you buy are *wrong* in so many places. Maybe easter eggs, maybe bugs. In either case, don't make the assumption that just because you paid money for it or that it looks like an official looking printed map that it's actually accurate.
I couldn't agree more. The one exception is our own dear Ordnance Survey. Very occasionally one may find a small discrepancy between the OS map and what appears to be there, on the ground. This is simply a case of reality being wrong.

... Climbing is a sport that kills people who don't take it seriously, but it can still be fun too. Naming routes is fun for some people.
I know. I have friends who climb and I'm sure they can't all be masochists, but the odd scramble I have tried just scared me witless. A tip though - there's often an easier way up around the back.
It sounds like this climbing malarky is as anarchic as OSM. You should have committees to grade climbs and approve route names and climbing police to ensure no-one ever uses a copyrighted route name without proper attribution.This is called the BMC.
LOL
