Far as I can tell, does not change climb speed on monsters. Those noticing different results may note: as an assassin you climb faster while wielding daggers vs a sword. Striders climb fast and an assassin wielding daggers gains a portion, not all, of that climb speed increase being a hybrid vocation. While wielding a sword you will be crawling slow as any fighter.

Start with daggers equipped, climb to where you need to be, equip your sword, Dire Gouge.
