I have my Leopard Geckos on reptile carpet and, on the cool end, a tile on top of the carpet. More for looks than anything. As for climbing, they're more ground-dwelling critters. But one of our Leopard Geckos, Gigi, is a climber. She tried to climb the glass walls. I put in a small reptile hammock for her, and she really enjoys it (you can see her on it in the Herp Photos forum, entitled "Geckos Galore"). I had to put it down really low, though, because (a) she kinda falls or even dives off the edge and (b) if I put it any higher, she'll climb out (which she managed once -- luckily I was standing right by the cage). I now have a clip on the screen to keep it Gigi-proof.
Some people make really fancy "rock wall" backgrounds for their Leopard Geckos out of styrofoam and grout, or built out of real stone that's glued together. They tend to make these somewhat stepped, with steps to climb up and niches for the geckos to hide in/lie on. I think Gigi would love one of those, but it'll have to wait for sometime when I feel inspired to take on the work. And I'll have to be careful, or she'll be loose in the house (which is all tile flooring, so she'll feel right at home until the cat finds her).
