Unless you are playing some sort of silly humor game, pixies showing up to stab you representing a failed climb check doesn't fit the narrative of climbing a cliff and failing a climb check.Slipping fits it.  A rock coming loose fits it.  The rope breaking fits it.  A lot of things do fit it, but narrative requirement is just a distraction in any case.  Regardless of whether you slip or pixies stab you, you are FALLING.  That represents GRAVITY taking over and pulling you down as happens in a FALL.  It is in fact simulating falling.  Whether you take damage or not depends on how far your fall, much like in real life.It's a simple simulation, but it is in fact simulating the process of falling.  You don't need to know the cause of the fall to simulate a fall.</blockquote>
