Have you talked to othet climbers about whether this is an issue that sort of goes away after some experience? If it's going to cause you significant physical harm, I'd say look for other activities. If it's just discomfort or something that goes away with experience, I say keep going considering you love doing it.

For sports with a problem solving aspect, I'm not sure whether sweeping is the most physical intensive activity, but curling is basically a sport that comes with a fun physics/geometry problem attached. Just don't become a skip if you want the exercise (they don't sweep).

easily decades ago

Decades ago (in the early 2000s) it was considered settled science and taught in schools (in Canada at least). It was studied by scientists at oil companies decades before that. It's been known for like 50 years now, almost an entire lifetime.

Maybe, but for Civ 6 specifically the launcher came out a few years into the game's lifespan, so I'm not sure they were doing it for whatever marginal revenue benefit that would be. I imagine selling DLC without Steam or whatever storefront getting a cut might be a motivating factor.

The funny part is 24 and 60 are already great numbers to base your time system on. They're both very divisible which means you can divide up the day or hour into halves, thirds, and quarters without dealing with fractional time periods. It would remove a practical aspect of time keeping to no benefit.
