No, "began" does not have a long "a" sound. The "a" in "began" is pronounced as a short vowel sound, like in the word "cat."

The word "climb" is from the words climban and climben, which had long I sounds on their first syllables in Old to Middle English. English often includes spellings that used Y or I interchangeably for the long I (e.g. tyre, tire).The similar word limb likely began as lim, hence it uses the short I sound.
