How were they before

like this, if not faster

id say they were way too fast before, but now are way too slow. perhaps a middle speed would be better than just reverting it to before.

it also seems the vertical boost upwards with each use of the climbing picks got nerfed too, so maybe that can be changed instead of the actual speed in which they are used. or they may be directly correlated, not sure how it works 100%

I open a ticket and zaify said "It's intentional that climbing picks are this slow. Wiki is outdated as mentioned earlier. If you think this should be changed then feel free to make a suggestion. To be honest, I wasn't really convinced of the need to make them slower in the first place." Before with eff5 you climb like 8 blocks now you climb One or less.
