So I looked into this a bit, on the Fenix 7 there used to be a "Climb" activity which was then renamed to "Mountaineering" at some point during the Fenix 7 lifespan. This "Mountaineering" activity is present…

'like indoor climbing but outside' is the funniest way I've heard rock climbing described

Yeah the site info for the 8 states that outdoor climbing would be a default activity but I'm not seeing it anywhere.

It's not. It's not in the list and if you connect the watch to the computer and look at the GARMIN/Sports directory, there's a Climb_Indoor.fit but nothing for climbing outdoor.

Your right! This is missing! I’d like this back!

Same here, would be nice to have this feature. So you can track indoor and outdoor climbing separately.

Does indoor climbing still have that annoying forced device lock, or is this optional now?

Didn't notice until now. Garmin please fix. Outdoor adventure watch.

This is an advertised activity, this should be there! Garmin please add!

So I looked into this a bit, on the Fenix 7 there used to be a "Climb" activity which was then renamed to "Mountaineering" at some point during the Fenix 7 lifespan. This "Mountaineering" activity is present on the Fenix 8. It would still be great to have a dedicated "Outdoor Rock Climbing" and "Via Ferrata" activity on the Fenix 8.
