That's really dependent on what you expect from your pawn. Lowering Scather in its inclinations can reduce its tendency to climb. Some of the equipped skills can also affect the pawn's behavior significantly; a lot of people who run Fighter pawns stay away from the shield skills entirely, especially Divine Defense, to affect the pawn's perfect blocking and attack frequency.

You could try Challenger/Mitigator/Pioneer to determine how that suits you. I realize that Medicant is not an inclination one would normally select for a fighter, but it could be useful in pushing Scather down far enough to help reduce climbing by using it in the fourth position.

All that said, there are certain enemies who are 'coded' in the bestiary knowledge for climbing. Pawns know that Poison Undead have a critical hit opportunity on the head, same as the Condemned Gorecyclops. The dire dragon bestiary knowledge also increases climbing due to the knowledge that there's a critical hit opportunity on the head and that striking it in the head while building up its flame breath will interrupt it.

Anyway. I encourage you to tinker. It's easy enough to change your pawn's inclinations with enough potions from Johnathan.
