info_node_climb is a point entity available in all Source games except Left 4 Dead series.

Entity description

A nodegraph and hint node entity, used only by Climbing NPCs. Climb nodes work similarly to func_useableladder, in that there is a bottom point and a top point. Unlike ladders, you instead place two climb nodes to determine the position of these two points. One node at the bottom and another vertically above the bottom one.

Note:In , the top node must be named and it's name must start with climb_up or just be named that. Otherwise the node will fail to connect with the bottom node regardless if it's connected with info_node_link or it's counterparts.
