"We'll accept execution for our actions, but not from some lapdog of the Emperor."

- Climber to Darth Vader

Climber was the clone commando captain of Ion Team in the 22nd during the Clone Wars.

Biography
Along with his underlings Trace, Ras, and another commando, Climber fought alonside Roan Shryne at the Battle of Deko Neimoidia. The team later fought at Boz Pity and the Battle of Murkhana, one of the Outer Rim Sieges.

When Commander Salvo tried to ambush and kill Shryne according to Order 66, Climber prevented the ambush and let the Jedi escape, to Salvo's displeasure. Darth Vader himself came to Murkhana to provide discipline. Vader reproached the team, accusing them of treason. However, Climber took responsibilty for his team, and felt justified in his actions. Lord Vader did not agree with Climber's assessment and drew his lightsaber. Ion Team fell back, drawing their weapons. When Vader moved on the commandos, they opened fire. Two of the commandos were killed when their blaster fire was deflected back into their helmets, and were then cleaved from the shoulder to the hip by Vader's lightsaber. Climber and the remaining commando escaped into a nearby tree line. Climber was struck in the leg by one of his own deflected laser bolts. Vader sent his men to pursue them, with orders to bring them back alive. They were later captured by Commander Appo's men.

Climber's fate, as well as that of the other commando, is unknown, but they are presumed to have been executed after capture.
