Vine Leshy and Combat Climber

[Keraki]

Was building a vine leshy when I came upon combat climber for a possible feat. My question is two fold. Since the nie leshy doesnt need any hand hands free to climb, do they still need this feat to fight while climbing? Secondly, for the same reason should they still be flat-footed wjile climbing?

Yes, they are Flat-Footed, as they do not have a Climb Speed. No, they do not need any other Feat to fight while Climbing, as they will have both Hands Free to Wield Weapons/Shields/Whatever.
