Hey, I was just wondering what the quickest and easiest way to get a Climb Speed is. Preferably with some sort of item and what book it's in, but feats and what have you can work. In the same sort of area, what is the quickest and easiest way to get a Swim speed? :smalltongue:

Get your friendly local wizard to cast spider climb on you.

Slippers of spider climb are only 4,800 gp. But if you don't need it that often then a scroll is only 150 gp. Better than preparing the spell too if it's situational, or you might prepare a spell you never use whereas you can hold on to the scroll until needed.

Be a Scout, and take the Dungeon Specialist ACF (Player's Handbook II, page 59). You trade fast movement for a climb speed = ½ land speed.
