Is there a "Seven Summits" equivalent in rock climbing?

Yeah it means the highest summit on each continent. Vinson, Denali, Everest, Killi, Aconcagua, Kosciuszko

Two of those summits you reach by having a ton of money. The other three aren't all that special, and one of them is a trekking peak.

But that means jack-all in climbing terms. Climbing the second highest summit on each continent is way more impressive than the highest ones. Height doesn't = difficulty. Logan is harder than the West Buttress on Denali, The Slovak Direct on Denali though... Everest is much more easy than K2...

The Seven Summits were a game arranged but a millionaire so he could brag about something. But they are not a feat that climbers brag about to other climbers.
