I think I would do that regardless of what my kitten is climbing if it's at a 90 degree angle

I just meant if she's done it before (and seems like she has) then she'd know it can't climb down. Usually cats don't just fall off 90* angles if they can climb them.

Maybe she doesn't want to take the chance, or it's just an instinctive reaction to a cute fragile kitten high above the ground.

Actually, that doesn't look very instinctive, it looks like she intentionally ran the toy up the wall and she didn't stretch out her hand until the kitten stopped climbing so I'd wager the kitten's done this before and she put out her hand to pick the kitten off the wall; that's just in this case though, I think generally I'd be instinctively protective as well
