Hmmmm. It's a difficult item. Immovable doesn't necessarily mean stationary. Since movement is relative, the rod isn't so much Immovable when activated. More, it's unaccelerateable. Meaning whatever motion it had, such as being on a planet, orbiting a sun, orbiting a galaxy or plane, moving through intergalactic space, looks as though it's stationary but, instead, maintains its accumulated velocity when the button is pushed, making it appear stationary relatively to the earth. However, remove the planet beneath it after activation and you'll find it continues its linear velocity from when the moment the button was first pressed.
THIS leads to some wonky things. First, unaccelerateable doesn't necessarily mean it isn't affect by gravity. Light, for example, at any given time is always traveling and can only travel the speed of light but is, itself, affected by gravity. The appears as acceleration, any change in speed in any direction, ie curving around a gravitational body, but is in fact a straight line through curved space. In fact, I believe the best way to calculate or surmise an outcome to the Immovable rod interacting with an object or energy, is to consider it exactly the same as a light particle with a few caveats. One, it's speed is not c, but whatever it's speed was at activation. Two, it has an astronomical amount of mass compared to a particle. And three, it is not point-like nor a wave-particle. It is a macroscopic, solid rod.
SO! Let's say you were to push the button to climb with it. Technically, it would succumb to gravity and wouldn't work. Damn. That was lamer than I expected. Except...it wouldn't stop when it touch the ground, it would free fall, unable to be decelerated and gaining and apparent acceleration due to gravity, burrowing to the core, past, and out the other side at exactly the same height (given a perfect sphere and homogenous gravity through the planet), before going back through the planet at a very slightly different spot and swinging through it again. Ad infinitum.
(Technically and unfortunately, to preserve momentum, it would phase through the planet affecting nothing).
