Wow that's a great price on the Wellgos! And when you think a Crampon is +$200 for the same weight....
For climbing, I'm finding that just having a good, strong, even pedal stroke is enough.

Originally I had ordered the Forte platform pedals from Performance, but they keep moving the back-order date. It was 12/7 and then they moved it to 12/24, so I ended up calling and canceling that order and found Wellgo MG 1s on Amazon for $41, which included expedited shipping (with regular shipping it was $39.)
I recently got the Teva Links for $64 including shipping and I think they are going to work out well. The sole seems relatively stiff and they seem to have good arch support. The Teva website says to order 2 sizes smaller than you would normally order. In my case I would normally order a women's 9, so I ordered a 7 and that worked out well for me. I will say they are very narrow, which I have a very narrow foot so it worked out for me, but I can see where it wouldn't for others.
I'm hoping the combination will help, especially on climbs. Occasionally when I'm attempting to spin up a hill and I discover I need to get in an even easier gear to make it up the hill I will gear down and my foot pops off the pedal. I'm sure there are other situations where it will be helpful as well, but that's where i lose my footing the most.
