If I'm left to analyze this particular case, I'd go with penalizing the climber. There's nothing wrong with getting on all fours (unless you have the ball). The infraction isn't committed until someone else steps on his back.
It's too bad there's no such thing as a multiple technical foul -- one free throw for each -- as that might be the more "just" way of handling it.

Sorry, I thought there was a case. I agree with your reasoning, and just in case, you could refer to the rule.
The player technical is charged for "climbing on or lifting a teammate...": so yes, it's the one who climbs who is guilty of the infraction.
