I climbed mountain passes that size with my infants carried in a pack. It was good clean fun and the babies loved it.

They play in the pine needles and the sand and get sap all over themselves and then snuggle up with you in the cold alpine nights. Everybody has a good time.

And I'm nowhere near as tough as Ms. Blum. (Annapurna I! Holy. Cow.)

Not sure about the definition of climbing. Seems to me falling might not be healthy for babies? As for hiking in the mountains, sure, why not.

Climb is an English word which simply means to rise. "The sun came out and the temperature was climbing."

Of course, there are various activities we describe as climbing that need more precise descriptions. Some of them are more perilous than others.

The most I did in the mountains with baby in tow was class 3 scrambling with a spotter.[0] Hacker News types like it specific.
