Thank you very much for playing, I'm delighted whenever people enjoy my stuff. I see what you mean about the "climb" command, it didn't occur to me until now that it might be confusing. (That said, "down" works too in that situation.)
A hint if you want one:
SPOILER
If you have already lifted your curse, the dragon's wings will be useful for getting home. See if there's anything you can use to cut them off.
