From the videos and descriptions I have read so far, the clamber ability is done by pressing jump a second time. I am fine with the clamber ability, but imo it should coincide with previous Halo games i.e. using squat jump to reach the hard-to-reach areas.
What do you prefer? Squat to engage the clamber ability or Jump?
Jump just makes more sense to me seeing how the jump button is basically useless when you are already in the air. This would also allow people to still use crouch jump… Not that they need to anymore.

Crouch jumping (if it’s still capable given the ground pound mechanic) is certainly not replaced outright by clambering; however, if the ground pound mechanic effectively renders crouch jumping impossible then yes it would have been replaced by clambering.
Crouch jumping is a much quicker and more fluid method of reaching certain platforms; plus, it’ll still allow a player to maintain the possibility of firing their weapon while reaching that platform where as clambering causes them to be momentarily vulnerable without being able to return fire.
On the other hand, the clambering does allow a player to reach higher heights and is executed quick enough to minimize the vulnerable state; also, I agree using the jump button to actuate the clambering mechanic makes perfect sense – using any other button would have been foolish.
Overall, I don’t really see an issue here either way, but I can understand some people’s concern.
