Any verb in base form in the dictionary is already in the present (the infinitive, which essentially implies infinite ways of making other verbs from the base form).

Therefore, the present tense of climb is climb.

The three forms in the present tense are simple present:

I climb out of bed each morning.

The emphatic present:

I do climb a lot of steps (more often used to make questions--Do you climb many steps to your apartment?)

The progressive present:

I am climbing, you are climbing, etc. "We are climbing Jacob's ladder."
