The climbing issue is more of a toddler thing. My son is two, and he is in the stage of trying to climb up bookcases, etc. Even a 4 year old should be old enough to control himself re: climbing, although every kid is different. If you live near a Children's Museum, Chuck E Cheese's, or McDonald's playland, you can help them get a lot of the climbing out of their systems in a safe environment.
I wouldn't try to baby-proof for the home study. Instead, I'd let her point things out to you. Or, you could even ask her specific questions. It might make a difference if you adopt a boy or a girl because boys tend to be more physical. But, there are always exceptions.
Unless the social worker tells you otherwise, I'd wait to babyproof until you know the specifics about the child you are adopting. If you adopt a mature 6-year-old girl, you probably won't even have to worry about anchoring bookcases, etc.
Good luck!!
