You could just make "fall through" the effect of failing the climb check.  In that case, maybe use the climber's size as a bonus/penalty to the climb check, so that smaller creatures have an advantage over larger creatures (for example,  I'd probably use the negative of the climber's <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/specialAttacks.htm#grappleChecks" target="_blank">grapple check size modifier</a>, so medium +0, small +4, large -4, etc)  (or alternatively, just use the climber's <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/combatStatistics.htm#attackBonus" target="_blank">attack bonus size modifier</a>)>> EDIT: Wow!  Thatch is apparently much more resilient than I thought.  Amended my numbers above to reflect my current opinion, after a little research.</blockquote>
