While you're climbing, each foot of movement costs 1 extra foot (2 extra feet in Difficult Terrain). You ignore this extra cost if you have a Climb Speed and use it to climb.
At the GM's option, climbing a slippery surface or one with few handholds might require a successful DC 15 Strength (Athletics) check.
