There is a lot of climbing data on OpenStreetMap that goes to waste,
because it is not rendered by any of the popular layers.
Consider the forest near Fontainebleau,
where the biggest and most developed
outdoor climbing area in the world is hidden.
You would not find any of the climbing places just
by looking at the map as it is,
even though you can reveal them
with the following Overpass Turbo query.
rendering nodes tagged with climbing=route_bottom
by using a similarly modified version
of the rope climbing icon, and
adding either icon to nodes or areas tagged
with leisure=sports_centre and sport=climbing,
although this case is less important,
because their outlines and labels are already rendered.
Here is a sketch of what the map would look like
before and after my proposal.

Also, if you look at surrounding features with equal importance, such as
tourism=viewpoint
or anamenity=shelter
in Fontainebleau,amenity=place_of_worship
in grotte de l'Amour, orbarrier=stile
with abarrier=gate
in Monts de Faÿ,you will see that they are rendered as expected.
It is a crying shame and quite inconsistent
that climbing places are not rendered at all.
I propose
climbing=boulder
by using a miniaturized and discolored version
of the free climbing icon
found in the OpenStreetMap Wiki article on climbing, and
climbing=route_bottom
by using a similarly modified version
of the rope climbing icon, and
with
leisure=sports_centre
andsport=climbing
,although this case is less important,
because their outlines and labels are already rendered.
