I have no idea how to make something climbable in my game.

I am making a game for a game jam. An simple platformer. And i am wondering how do i implement a thing that you can climb on (the game is 2d). Like you dont have a mini ladder on a shelf! (I mean art, not how to do it)

Hey, what Engine are you working in? I'll try to keep it general, my way of implementing it would be:

Check for climbable objects to the side your character is facing (in a really small distance, you would want to touch the object)
While a climbable object is nearby, disable gravity (and possibly jumping)
move the character according to your up/down input
re-enable gravity and jumping when no climbable object is to the side
Profit!
