Why do walking summits appear in the logbook as "Outdoor Climbs"

When I upload a GPX file of a walk any summits I've passed are recorded in my logbook. That's fine, but why do they appear as "Outdoor Climbs" when most of them haven't involved any climbing? It might make sense for Alpine summits, but not for UK hills.  One of my most recent "Outdoor Climbs" is Helsby Hill.  This just makes a nonsense of my actual climbing stats. Surely they should be recorded as one of the walking categories?

Hi Howard, are you just referring to the heading here or is there somewhere it looks odd?

Thanks, Paul.

They also appear in the month-by-month graph at the foot of the diary page (sorry, I can't post a screenshot).  At present this shows I've been climbing outdoors in January, which has definitely not been the case.  As the year goes on these then get mixed in with actual climbs and distort the figures.

I could just delete them, but it's quite nice to have summits in the record, it's just how they are categorised that I find a problem.
