Just because it's a strong possibility, does not make it a truth. Until we learn more about the Tomahawk's features, speculation can stay where it is: in people's minds.

Also, do you know how silly it is to believe that you could climb with an axe? What makes you think that an axehead could actually provide a proper grip onto something, without being tilted to the side, which wouldn't guarantee that you'd be able to stay on a nook for that long, along with making climbing in itself extremely awkward.

The only way that it could ever consistently work as a climbinb tool, with the knowledge that we know now, is if Connor could chop into trees and propel himself upwards.
