Climbing needs to save you from passage attacks.
That would go a bit too far imo..
I'd like to point out that the Conjuration group called "Walls" is somewhat misleading.
There are true "Walls" in there, like Wall of Earth or Wall of Bones, meaning physical structures which usually block passage and then there are conjurations also called "Walls" but which are not truly walls but more immaterial obstacles, like Wall of Fire or Poison Wall or Fog Bank, or material obstacles like Wall of Pikes.
So some conjurations are called walls because they behave like walls ( for playing purposes ) rather than effectively being walls.
Climbing should affect real walls but not these so called walls : thus passage attacks should still attack Climbers.
Shouldn't Wall of Pikes be unavoidable?
I understand that Fire or Poison or Thorn attacks are Unavoidable as it's everywhere around the creature passing through.
Pikes however are different imo and I have no problem with it being avoidable.
So, yes there is an issue
Climbing should be a quick, hindering action.
