YAGBU reguarding the climbing skill

I am currently writing a guide for wizards, and while
explaining the skill sets of each race/class combination
I noticed something. The manual and the guidebook state
that climbing is not a skill that wizards are trained in.
They both also state that grey elves are not trained in
climbing.

I knew that grey elven wizards did indeed have climbing.
I did some tests and I was unable to create a wizard, of
any race that didn't have the climbing skill. Also every
Grey elven character I generated had climbing no matter
what his class. In fact I couldn't create any PC of any
kind that didn't have climbing.

Every character starts with climbing, first aid, haggling and listening, no
matter if they are trained in them or not. They are considered default
skills.
It's all in the manual.
