As far as the str/dex is concerned with swords, if you want to get technical then yes you should try to have 75%/25%, but I have done a few climbs going pure STR and not caring about my crits, and my average did not suffer much.
Long story short: pumping STR is fine, but if you want to maximize your damage output then you will need to do some calculating/planning.
p.s. I think my warn goes away tomorrow...
