Yes you are. You' re putting her achievements down and comparing her to others (all in vague generalisations) for no other reason than the fact that she has most excelled at sport climbing. If she hadn't excelled at what she's done (and most interested in at the moment) then she wouldn't now be the subject of this conversation in this negative context which you started.
