This should be used to update the existing errata insert.
The rules were holding onto some core ideas and not updates correctly.
The table below is a simple fix and says that even fully armoured a character can climb - albeit slowly.

Compare with CFI rules for situational movement rates...
Climbing:Worn armor hinders climbers, with each location covered by light armor counting as 1 additional 'Thing' carried, and each location covered by heavy armor counting as 2 additional 'Things' carried.
Jumping:Reduce the jump distance in feet by half the total 'Things' carried. Worn armor hinders jumpers, with each location covered by light armor counting as 1 'Thing' in the beforementioned calculation, and heavy armor counts as 2 'Things.'
Swimming:Under normal conditions a character's maximum swimming speed per Round is equal to their Movement Rate, -1 for each 'Thing' carried more than the character's STR. Worn armor hinders swimmers, with each location covered by light armor counting as 1 additional 'Thing' carried, and each location covered by heavy armor counting as 2 additional 'Things' carried. If total ENC reduces swim distance to 0 or less, the character automatically begins drowning (see Asphyxiation).
