Honestly, I agree. I'd probably want to nerf it down to +1, myself, if I were redoing the Basic Set. Basically, you're a fool to build a character with 8 points in Climbing, when you could put 1 point in Climbing and spend 5 on Flexibility and come out ahead, both points-wise and effects-wise. But the upshot is that it makes it easier and more affordable to build a cat burglar character, one of the more point-intensive char concepts.
