Morphology
The meaning 'the activity of climbing rocks' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'rock' (natural solid mineral material) with 'climbing' (the act of moving upward). This noun–noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern for naming activities, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The noun rock climbing is a direct name: rock and climbing show the activity of going up natural rocks using ropes and special gear. So, it means 'the sport of climbing natural rocks'.
