Tall Climber
A short gay male top whoms sexual preference solely includes overly tall men with which to turn into his bottom.

Similiar to the term "Tree Climber" for heterosexuals, a Tall Climber is not just a short person whom likes a tall person, it is a small person whom seeks to be the alpha male over the tall person (imagine a Chihuahua having sexual relations with a Great Dane). Contrary to natural selection and the bigger being the dominate and fully inclusive of the Napoleonic Complex, but bleeding over to sexual preferences and desires, tall climbers desire to conquer everything that is larger than themselves. A typical example of this includes bending over a military guy to turn them into a snowy mountain with which the tall climber will use to climb for 12 minutes and then eventually plant his flag upon reaching the top.

"Hey Malik, who is that guy right there that just entered our group circle and won't stop starring at you?"
"Ignore him, he's probably just a tall climber."

Social Climber
(n.) Similar to an "attention whore", but a social climber is anyone that becomes friends with someone else if they have something that they want, which we all know involves people. They become 'friends' with people who "know people". In turn, they become (or attempt to become) 'friends' with that first person's more "popular" friends, leaving the first person behind. Repeats this cycle to "get to the top", in their own mind, until they realize they are shallow and unable to like people for who they really are. Inevitably, they will be forced to "mature" beyond this. This usually pertains to girls more so than guys.

Cat becomes friends with Nate. Cat is very nice to Nate because Nate's friends all throw good parties. Cat plays on Nate's (painfully obvious) attraction/interest in Cat to get her and several of her friends rides/free alcohol at Nate's friends' parties. Cat meets some other people who know about parties and social things through Nate's party, and eventually doesn't see any more USE for him. Cat is a social climber, because to her, friendship is just a game and other people's feelings don't matter, because she doesn't feel them.
