Thinking about Rick's "staircase effect", perhaps climbing provides feedback to the brain that it doesn't get when walking on a flat surface, so closed loop control is enabled, and we move better.

We're also more consciously aware of what we're doing when we climb, and it requires us to use more muscle power.

Any other ideas?
