Were your insurers clear about what constitues climbing?

As in, if you are bushwalking at Araps and hit on the head by a rock, you're not really climbing.
Then are you climbing if standing watching a friend climb and get hit on the head by a rock.
Then are you climbing if standing watching a friend climb and you happen to be wearing a harness waiting your turn and get hit on the head by a rock.
Or if you're having a family picnic - on the top of the watchtower - are you climbing?

I'm sure each of us would draw lines, and compose definitions differently. I hope my future insurer is clear in explaining at what point of my walk from the Pines to the top of Muldoon climbing commences from a coverage point of view.
