Climb has no talent, it is a fact that was even confirmed by Gazef. Climb is where he is because of his tremendous hard work that's all, you cannot say he has "hidden" talent for the heck of it without proof.

Moreover, concerning the XP being connected to souls. Yes, in the New World XP has become Souls and as far as we know only Players can gather and absorb it. The natives of this world cannot gather it or it would have been said when for example Blue Rose killed some of the demons that they absorbed something and Ainz would have witnessed it when he fought with the dead adventurers against the Ogres.

The natives of this world do not accumulate power through XP (Souls), it is as Evileye said "inborn" and in the form of talent (just like in our world in a way). Gazef did not become this "powerful" thanks to souls, no, he became this strong thanks to his intense training and tremendous talent that he possessed since birth (inborn).

Of course, there are rituals or similar events that can increase the individual's power dramatically (by their world' standard I mean), Evileye becoming a vampire was one of these I believe and an attempt was made by the necromancer in E-Rantel (don't remember his name) trying to massacre the entire city.

The only ones that apparently can "use" souls are the "Ancient" Dragon Lords in order to fuel their Wild Magic spells but they have almost all been slaughtered by the Eight Greed Kings leaving only few (very, very few) of them still alive. Only the Draconic Kingdom Queen has inherited this particular trait from her Great-great... grandfather that happens to be one of those few "Original" Dragon Lords still remaining.
