The recipient need not worry about gloves, boots or stockings; whether covered or not, hands and feet can negotiate the surface as easily.

Scrambling or clambering speed is equal to stride-1, applied vertically — thus, a distance of 25 ft. can be ascended or descended in a single round. There is no "stickiness" involved; the character can pause, holding his or her place and manipulate an object normally with one hand or foot. There must, however, be at least three points of contact, or the recipient will fall.

Slippery or wet surfaces, even icy ones, can be moved over as easily as dry stone, metal, wood or whatever. Trees can be climbed, and the character can even hang upside down from the bottom of horizontal surfaces like a ceiling or overhang.
