Climbing and crouch

[Bergante]

in : 

it is said : Players can more smoothly transition from climbing as the player is now permitted to be crouched during the climb.
              This is definitely not true !!!
up to TDM2.10 its been possible to change position while climbing by just using the crouch-key .
since TDM2.11 --- if one trys to do so --- you will slide down and fall at the end .
I don´t think this was intended by @Daft Mugi
explanation in : What´s new in TDM 2.11 : 
"There are several improvements to crouching, making it more responsive (thanks to @Daft Mugi)."

Because nobody has mentioned this before - there seems to be no real interest of this behaviour.
but there are rare moments when this could be helpful
(to grab things - to avoid being in the light while hanging on the rope, or to make silent jumps into tight spots)
my comment from : things that can be improved :

Getting the crouch position while climbing

it seems to me that since 2.11 climbing works different !
i can´t switch anymore from stand position to crouch position while climbing !?
i replay HazardPay at the moment and in 2.10 it´s been possible to change position on a rope or net
now i can still stay in crouch pose when entering the rope/net in this Position -
(but you jump onto mostly. so you will be in stand pose)
but not get to it anymore when i stand up  - than one slides down and fall when the end is reached
normally that´s no problem - but if you want to grab something laying on the ground - 
it was mostly possible to grab it in crouch pose 
now one has to go so deep - one gets standing on the ground - so you can not grab it from hanging on the rope !
was there a reason to change this ( or is it just something in "settings" ? )

not sure if this should be improved - or better mentioned as Bug-Report 
so @Daft Mugi ?  what were you trying to do ?

I would like to have the possibility to switch position while climbing
