"And other terrain" applies to large monsters as well, friend. Test it out yourself. If all it did was help your character pull themselves up ledges quicker (which takes like a second) it'd be a completely silly augment.

Also, your character weight and how much junk your lugging around alter your climb speed iirc. Also certain classes just climb faster by default. It is true Striders are the fastest at scaling monsters, then come the strider derivative classes, (Ranger, Sin and MA), then comes everyone else.

An Assassin with the same weight, height and augments as a Warrior will still climb faster than the Warrior. A Strider with the same weight will climb faster than the Assassin. Just the way it is.
