Not sure if it's intended behaviour but it's possible to climb ladders that are on a face perpendicular to the player as per this screenshot. Seems a bit odd but weirder still is the fact that hands holding tools are still visible while climbing!
Maybe some animation is planned (or actually happens in multiplayer??) but hiding hands/putting away tools while on a ladder would seem more realistic! 
Actually we have been thinking about adding specifc climbing animation, however, this would also mean that tools wouldn't be usable while climing. In a pure survival game this would be certainly preferable, but in RW, it's probably better if you're fully mobile (and can still use your tools) while climbing, especially when it comes to building 
Maybe put two handed tools in one hand while actually climbing and back to two hands when stationary? Or perhaps the player should have an automatically deployed carabiner or ladder harness when using a tool when on a ladder?!!
That could work, but it would also require quite some additional work, since it would be necessary to have an additional climbing animation for every two-handed item 
We will keep that in mind, maybe this is something that could be done in the long run (when most featues are implemented, so we could focus on polishing)^^
