There is nothing incoherent about his theme:

"My research is concerned with looking at the way that climbers learn, maintain and make meaningful the variety of practices involved in being a part of the climbing community."

To dumb it down:

His research is concerned with the way climbers learn (to climb), maintain (climbing practices) and reasons they find (climbing and being part of that community) meaningful to them.
