Backpacking through Europe- Should I bring rope and draws?

I am backpacking through France, Italy, Switzerland, and Spain. I am trying to rock climb and highline as much as possible.

Should I bring Rope and Draws as I am living out of my backpack. Dealing with the weight may end up a pain....and will I be able to meet other climbing partners easily?

Things I am packing for sure
Tent
Cookware
sleeping bag
clothes

Don't forget food.

I have been able to carry two weeks of food max in a 70L pack, which takes the weight to 75lbs using UL tent, bag, etc. Granted I had some survival gear too since we were pretty far out, man. I did have my climbing shoes for some dirty highball (and maybe some free solo). Rub your hands in the dirt to chalk up.

I would carry a harness and device at most. If you meet a climber, they would need to have their rope and harness to climb anyway. Safe journey!
