One fairly successful (but sadly deceased ) character of mine managed to find the dwarven pick of erebor (in the sandworm lair, I think).

Climbing sets turn up in the Black Markets on occasion. Other than that, I almost always find the Mattock of Nain, and there are a couple of pairs of artifact footwear that aren't too rare. If you get a checkerboard vault in the Sandworm Lair you have a good chance to get one of these. Climbing sets also show up in deep dungeons fairly often.
Re: What's a good place to look for climbing?
Expecting to get climbing gear by level 30 seems a bit optimistic to me. I generally find a set in the black market or in the dungeon sometime in early-mid Mordor. I don't think they're really worth searching specifically for, though.
Re: What's a good place to look for climbing?
It's not that optimistic when you've got ironman_rooms on 
. I found the metal shod boots of Thror around the time I was hoping to find something like 'em. Climbing and +3 to STR, CON, and speed! Not bad. They were, and still are, quite useful.

Ought to be some in town in bottom of Moria.

Very useful for house in same town because of tons of Balrogs/other Us.
