Yeah, I've noticed that too.

Best way to ascend, is to Strafe Right + Turn Left (or Strafe Left + Turn Right) and ascend simultaneously. You get an upwards spiral as if you were going up a spiral staircase.

If you're using a controller, I imagine you'd get the same effect out of Move Left+Camera Right/Move Right+Camera Left while ascending. I assume?
