I am surprised no Canon proponent has come forward to tell you how rightful it is to switch from Sony to Canon, lol. I am a Sony user and just came cross the Canon forum for the first time out of curiosity. Let me add my pennies.
While I cannot say anything about robustness and customer support (you may be right), I find ergonomics is subjective and I personally have no problem with the Sony bodies. That said depending on the lens, the distance between the lens and the grip on the Canon bodies may be even tighter than on the Sony bodies. This is because a Canon RF lens near the mount is wider than a Sony lens due to the larger mount. If you have large hands, you may particularly find the distance too tight on a Canon body. I would suggest try it out first before committing to buy.
Moreover, if I were a rock climber, I would definitely compare the size and weight of the camera bodies and all the lenses I intend to buy and carry. As a rock climber, weight and size must be the crucial factors. I have to say, I really like the canon R5. For the price, it is nearly all that A1 is maybe just a tad less. Yet A1 is so much more expensive.
Finally per color, I have come to believe it is all about superstition and self-deception (at least as far as one shoots raw). It's all anecdotal and I think people just believe what they want to believe.
If I ever switch to Canon, it would be for the complete touch interface of Canon cameras. I hate that Sony undervalues this. What keeps me in the Sony system is the abundance of native lenses, both OEM and third party. There are lenses of all sort in the Sony system. Some of these lenses are stellar or the best ever made.

Moreover, if I were a rock climber, I would definitely compare the size and weight of the camera bodies and all the lenses I intend to buy and carry with me to decide which system works best for my specific need.

If I ever switch to Canon, it would be for the complete touch interface of Canon cameras though. I hate that Sony undervalues this. What keeps me in the Sony system is the abundance of such a wide range of lenses, both OEM and third party. There are lenses of all sort in the Sony system.
