 For the other two routes, even with plain Strength you're better than other people at [[climbing#human limit climb|human limit climbs]], and [[climbing#superhuman climb|superhuman climbs]], because normal people automatically fail those climbs unless they have spells. But if you wish, you can select Strength from your background or with the "Skilled" feat in order to make it proficient and then spend your level one or level six expertise in Strength to be even better at those two climbs.
