The rules do spell out in 3.2.7.2 G35 that

"Discs may be fed onto the feild only under the following circumstances:

A. During TELEOP through the feeder slots and
B. during the last thirty (30) seconds of TELEOP over the FEEDER
STATIONS."

I would infer from this that this is the "same time" that they mention in the animation, and therefore the climbing period would be during the last 30 seconds. It would be nice if they provided a little more detail on the climbing.

I suspect we'll see some clarification on this soon.

I agree, I think we will see some clarification. Though the rules as of right now don't say a thing about climbing being specifically the end game. And we all know how often the animation breaks game rules.
