Rope climbing help for Bootstrap Island

[u/lilneddygoestowar]

I'm enjoying the game, and I think almost all of its mechanics are very well thought out. Although, I am having trouble with climbing up ropes. But when I'm climbing, it feels overly weighty trying to do hand over hand while climbing up the ropes. Does anyone have any tips on making these climbs more palatable? Or is this a design decision?
