Default NROLW and Climbing question

Is climbing considered recovery sport that is safe to do between weight workout days, or is it considered a strength workout which I should build in rest days in between?

I have recently started lifting weights following NROLW book, and this is my second week of 3 day per week weight lifting schedule. I also climb 1-2 times a week (nowdays only 1 time per week since I'm running out of days of week). Plus I am a cardio kickboxing instructor. So I lift M-W-F according to NROLW....and teach cardio kbox Tue/Sat...and climb on Fridays...that's 6 days a week.

Is it safe to continue climbing as above, or should I take a break to help with my muscle recovery? I really don't want to give up climbing since it's something that "sings to my soul" and I've done this consistently for years. Another option could be only lifting 2/week and keeping my cardio kbox and climbing schedule as is....is that better?
