climbable
Able to ascend
Climbable describes something that can be climbed—a surface, structure, or feature with enough holds or gradients to ascend: a climbable tree, a climbable rock face.
The word often appears in outdoor recreation and video game contexts, where identifying what can be scaled matters: The ivy-covered wall looked climbable.
