Source Player Core pg. 193

Skill Athletics

Requirements You have two hands free.

You attempt an Athletics check to move a maximum distance of 5 feet up, down, or across an incline. You're off-guard while climbing unless you have a climb Speed. The GM determines the DC based on the nature of the incline and environmental circumstances; you might get an automatic critical success on an incline that's trivial to climb. If your land Speed is 40 feet or higher, increase the maximum distance by 5 feet for every 20 feet of Speed above 20 feet.

Critical SuccessYou move along the incline, increasing the maximum distance by 5 feet.

SuccessYou move along the incline.

Critical FailureYou fall. If you began the climb on stable ground, you fall and land prone.
