i appreciate that the risk of spontaneous bleeds due to being on therapeutic warfarin is not raised that much, and is obviously outweighed by the benefits of avoiding complications of dvt. the discussion here however is more about the risk of increased bleeding due to trauma when on warfarin. I don't have any studies on hand to reference, but i know that this risk is significantly increased, because of the way that warfarin works. I'm not saying that the original poster should avoid climbing, but that he should be aware that falls and injuries will have a significantly increased risk of serious bleeds while on warfarin.
