Spider Step inquiry

We are running a new PF game, and a new to pf player made the following inquiry...

Spider Step

Your physical mastery grants you an impossible stride.

Prerequisites: Acrobatics 6 ranks, Climb 6 ranks, monk level 6th.

Benefit: As a move action, you can move up to half your slow fall distance (maximum 50 feet) across a wall or ceiling or across ropes, branches, or even water or other surfaces that cannot support your weight. You must reach a solid, level surface by the end of your turn or you will fall.

So... does using the half-my-move spider step use my whole move? Or is that just the max I can use of it while on unusual surfaces? The reason I ask is because at that point my base move as a monk is 50 ft... which seems like a huge reduction, especially since climbing is just part of a move action.

I am under the understanding that it only uses part of his total move. Am I correct?

edit for clarification. He will soon be level 6. Base movement on that level


Not half move, its half your slow fall distance, to a max of 50 feet. The action itself is a move action.
