I suspect it's not a proper climbing game, but it sounds like it might be related. The three criteria of climbing games are really:

1. Play must match current trick size.
2. Play must be of higher cards to those already played.
3. Play does not following simple one-play tricks, but rather continues until no higher plays are possible/desirable.

From what I understand of 6 Nimmt! which I believe is the same game, you're playing to one of multiple stretches, rather than to a more classic trick.

Still, I'm not entirely sure if there's a better definition. 6 Nimmt! is on my list of card games to try out at some time (along with Coloretto and Rage) because of its wide-spread acclaim.
