Well, you wouldn't say 'stair climbing' you would say 'climbing the stairs'. There's...
climbing the stairs (emphasizes the height of the stairs, they're so many it's as if you are climbing up a hill)
going up the stairs
ascending the stairs
The opposites would be...
going down the stairs
descending the stairs
