Is rock wall climbing a date?

Anonymous
A guy friend suggested I go rock wall climbing with him (I know he is really good). When I said I probably put could not keep up with him, he said he’d take me on a tour of cool places around the city, and that it would take several hours. Is he soft asking me on a date?

Update: we have been messaging since the Zoom and today he tells me about a picture of his he really likes and that he wants to look at when he is old to remember “sexier times”, and then makes a big deal about how his ethnic group “ages well naturally” so he will look good when he is older.

He also mentioned his tattoo (on his arm).

Went rock climbing and on a mini tour today. Still not sure it was a date. He paid for rock climbing and coffee, I paid for lunch (and I brought some dessert with me from my friend’s bakery). Here’s the deets:
- we hugged at the beginning and the end. Full body long hugs.
- we talked and the conversation was free flowing and really natural. We talked about funny, deep, political, silly and personal stuff. He said at the end of the date it was like no time had passed.
- he said I look “so fit”

-he said I look “really healthy” and that it’s obvious I eat healthy and am active
- he was super supportive on the rock walls
- he said he would like to show me around a different part of the area I also don’t know well
- he suggested that I go with him and a friend couple of his to a winery in another town farther north, which would be really hard to make in a day trip
- when I texted him I had so much fun, he sent me a red heart emoji and said he’d like a similar tour of my city sometime.
