I heard a tall "3D" trees planned in the future of DF but I didn't like the idea of monkey-dorfs.
I think for dorf is much easier to chop down the tree then climb it.
So I want to suggest to add a fear factor in game and make dorfs to fear of hight if they didn't have solid surface under they feet.
Dorfs are brave guys but not against tall trees.
And it can be cool if this factor will be affected on battles and critters will be running in fear when those fear factor is very low.

I don't see a good reason for having this. Can you give more information?

What kind of information do you need? That's all I wanted to suggest 
I think dorfs are to clumsy to be spidermendorfs.

There isn't any evidence that states Dwarfs can/will climb in the next version of fortress mode. Since it's a pathing nightmare I doubt we'll be seeing it soon.
As for the actual "fear factor" I'm sure cultural taboos will become a thing later in the development cycle. When we start seeing procedural cultures it's possible we'll even see Dwarven societies that live in trees.

I think he wants dwarves to be scared of heights.

Yes But not just hight because then we can not build high structures in a future.

And I remember, I read somewhere about climbing so this topic about it...
If there's no climbing in a future, then ok.

personally i'd have that dwarves wouldnt be terrified of it, they'd just be very slow at climbing trees and find it very easy to fall off. And they'd avoid doing it unless they were attacking an elf forest or running from wild animals.
