This has come up before. IMO, the best fix is to simply rule that instead of a flat +3 to Climbing, it lets you offset up to -3 in penalties when Climbing. That's far more fair.
(Note: This is a suggested fix, not an erratum. Unfortunately, this cannot be changed at this point without impacting many characters, templates, etc., so it's going to stand as-is.)
