As partial compensation for the loss of the sneak ladder which had a high
movement speed. Mods are being used to create replacements for the sneak
ladder and these will often be using climbable nodes.
3.5n/s feels the highest reasonable speed for climbing, and means that
stairs still have a slight speed advantage (4n/s vertical movement)
as reward for being harder to build.
Minetest is very (and increasingly) vertical, this helps by making
ladders and other climbable nodes no longer significantly slower than
stairs.

When testing, the current 3 is very reasonable, doesn't feel slow but also doesn't feel fast.
4 seems just too fast, even for our hyperactive character.
You can easily test this by using this line in .conf:
movement_speed_climb = 3.5

Closing as 3 is a good speed and there is now less need to increase the speed.
