RFC: hiking_technique key (or a better name!) to describe movement on paths by hikers

I watched some videos and it looks to me like much of this would fall under value 4. Some people might not need to use their hands at all, but it seems most people use their hands at least a little bit. Even the people who are using their hands quite a lot still seem to be basically walking, just with assistance of hands. Other sections appear to be value 5 where most people are using their hands constantly and their movements are more climbing than walking. This raises the same question I posed above. What value to use if a route is not micro-mapped by section? Round up I suppose?
