This is true. I've never been big into rock climbing, but I have some friends who are and I live in an area with a handful of natural walls not too far away, so all of my experience has been pretty cheap. But your point on club dues and the extra social outings is fair. I don't have much experience living outside the rural/suburban parts of the Midwest, so I forget that folks will find ways to make their social groups even more exclusive.
