I was under the impression that by the time Urek entered the Tower, Phantaminum had already raided Zahard's Castle. So Urek would most likely want to get up there as fast as possible the moment he found out. But I admit that even in this scenario Urek could have wandered around while waiting for tests, when he found something interesting (e.g., Baek Ryun's forrest), or when waiting for the Hell Train to depart from the station. The part where he was looking for a way out presumably came later on, when (1) he figured Phantaminum is no longer around, and / or (2) he got fed up with the Tower, either way it was most likely after he had reached the "top".

Still, there are other concerns that render Urek's climbing behaviour fairly irrelevant to Kaiser's motivation. First--to get this off the table--, I cannot recall whether we have a timeline for Urek climb, but it's entirely possible that he climbed before Kaiser ever came to the Name Hunt station. Regardless, if Kaiser decided to stay at the Name Hunt station in order to get an Irregular name, she could have done it either before Urek or after Urek. The former suggests that Kaiser believed herself capable of defeating the likes of scary monsters who who can kill Floor Guardians, and--assuming they truly met each other--retained the delusion despite a first hand experience with Urek who probably never got serious. While the latter suggests she deluded herself despite the scary stories that--at the time--may have already included Urek's triumph over Arie Hon.

Either way, I would really prefer for Kaiser to have a different motivation / plot idea on her side.
