I share those exact 4 passions (surfing a bit less so, but have been getting more into it when time and weather permits, with climbing at #1 spot by far) and while I can totally see what you mean, I'm not sure I'd personally want to "monetize" climbing.
I climb to get away from computers, to spend an afternoon (or a few days) with friends away from technology and have by my escape. Just like artists who choose not to sell their art, I'm afraid trying to make money from it will ruin it. I have met guides who I've taken lessons from before who absolutely loved guiding and would not have traded it for the world. Obviously, other peoples' opinions will differ.
(Where are you geographically btw?
edit: just checked your info and I think I've asked you this before. Last time I did, you were in Thailand or the UK, not quite sure if I remember)
