Climbs

Does the icon for climbs on the map change or is the question mark it's icon?

I was wondering this, most have a question mark after discovery and driving them but one has now changed to a small picture of a jeep. A little confused.

I think that is one of the known issues. Will probably be patched soon

What are they actually for ? This is my first time playing mud/snow runner game so wasn’t sure if it was something I needed to complete?

They just mark places the devs intended to be climbable (obviously you can climb elsewhere too, it just may not be as easy, especially without tools). Similarly the fords marked on the map are places you can ford over with relative ease.

This just seems pointless, as least on the first map. The climbs feel little more than some gentle inclines. You don't even need to winch to get up them, and don't seem worthy of a specific mention.
The map seems to be detailed enough to make it fairly obvious where a potentially easy route can be found. The map certainly doesn't have the same level of ambiguity as the map in Snowrunner. At least with Snowrunner, planning a route with the map was part of the challenge, when you arrived at a point that the map suggested might be an easy route turned into an hour's worth of grappling and winching.
