I'm still suspicious of this one. Why can't zombies climb? It seems to me that a professional climber turned zombie should have a enough muscle memory to scamper up a ladder. And what is the threshold? Stairs? Ladders? Third-class scrambling, forth-class scrambling, fifth-class climbing?
You comment inspired a story. I am envisioning these survivors on the roof of a garage: “Don’t worry, Katie, they can’t climb.” A guy near the edge freaks out. “What is it Sebastian?” [Sebastian is the French guy] “Zat one, he is wearing the climbing harness and has chalk on his fingers.” “So what?” “Zee is a climber! Zee has the muscle memory!” [Sadly, none of them thought to bring a shovel up onto the roof, so our climber-zombie kills them all]
An aspiring writer living in Denver, Colorado. Currently marketing my third novel, revising the forth. I have several published short stories and a drawer-full still looking for homes.
