I believe you've gotten yourself stuck in the floor. I've not experienced
it much but I've heard of it. Next time it happens go to 3rd person and see
if your feet are there. The best advice I can give you is watch out for
cracks and uneven floors when you're climbing off a wall or ladder or if
you're jumping onto a higher area.

Good Luck

This seems to happen for me mostly when I'm trying a tricky jump.
Usually, it can be fixed by finding (or creating) a small drop to
complete the jumping animation. Sometimes, even gliding over a body at
the right angle will fix it. Experiment.

I just got my climbing gloves (which I think are cool! - never could get the
hang of the rope arrows). I got Garrett to climb a wall and he got stuck in
a floating building. Very odd. Anyway it was time for bed, so not really a
problem.

Augustus left a note on my windscreen which said:

I've had that once. You can save the game at that position, reload and
he should be back on his feet as it were.

Worked for me at least.
