How do I create fun, terrain-based challenges?

I find that I struggle with terrain-based activities more than anything else. Here's how it usually goes. here's a big cliff, you have to climb it, okay you have a rope and rolled a 14? cool you climb it. oh you have a rope but rolled a two? I guess you fall. Try again, I guess?

How do I make terrain challenges that feel meaningful and exciting but also aren't just up to the dice, or so easy that all players have to do is grab a rope? One of my party members is like a mountaineer IRL and I think he'd have a lot of fun interacting with terrain, so I'd love any advice. thanks!
