	'''Accelerated Climbing:''' You try to to climb more quickly than normal. As a miscellaneous full-round action, you can attempt to cover your full speed in climbing distance, but you suffer a -5 penalty on Climb checks and you must make two checks each round. Each successful check allows you to climb a distance equal to one-half your speed. By accepting the -5 penalty, you can move half your speed as move equivalent action rather than a full-round action.		'''Accelerated Climbing:''' You try to to climb more quickly than normal.

		+	'''Making Your Own Handholds and Footholds:''' You can make your own handholds and footholds by pounding pitons into a wall. Doing so takes 1 minute per piton, and one piton is needed per 3 feet. As with any surface with handholds and footholds, a wall with pitons in it has a DC of 15. In the same way, a climber with a handaxe or similar implement can cut holds in an ice wall.
		+
		+	'''Catching Yourself When Falling:''' It's practically impossible to catch yourself on a wall while falling. Make a Climb check (DC = wall's DC + 20) to do so. A slope is a lot easier to catch yourself on (DC = slope's DC + 10).
		+
		+	'''Special:''' A character with 5 or more ranks in Use Rope gets a +2 synergy bonus on checks to climb a rope, a knotted rope, or a rope and wall combination.
		+
		+	Someone using a rope can haul a character upward (or lower the character) through sheer strength. Use double your maximum load (see page 141) to determine how much a character can lift.

 Use this skill to scale a cliff, to get to the window on the second story of a wizard's tower, or to climb out of a pit after falling through a trapdoor.
-Check: With each successful Climb check, you can advance up, down, or across a slope or a wall or other steep incline (or even a ceiling with hand-holds) one-half your speed as a miscellaneous full-round action. You can move half that far, one fourth of your speed, as a miscellaneous move-equivalent action. A slope is considered to be any incline of less than 60 degrees; a wall is any incline of 60 degrees or steeper.

 A failed Climb check means that you make no progress, and a check that fails by 5 or more means that you fall from whatever height you have already attained.
