yeah its a difficult one. If climbings such a bit part of your life, then it makes sense that an ideal partner would also be someone who shared this passion and that you could hang out with on weekends and climbing trips. Although seeing a non-climber can offer some diversity, it can b a compromise when they dont share the passion. I guess it comes down to how obsessed you are by climbing - when weekends and holidays are planned around climbing it doesnt leave much time for a non-climber partner.
