Indeed - as you show, paq'raD 14:4 supports this explicitly: {...chalqach toS} "he climbs the tower".

There's the $64 question. ;) I guess what I wonder is if {qojDaq vItoS} "I climb (onto?) the cliff" is legal in the same way as {bIQtIqDaq vIjaH} "I go to the river" is.

Well, I suppose there is still a destination as often as not - the top of the cliff (or, for abseilers, the bottom), so I reckon either {qoj toS} or {qojDaq toS} would probably be okay.
