I had to check for myself and you're absolutely right. Here's a couple of examples from AIP GEN 6.16.8 After Take-off:
Example 1: DEPARTED (location) (time in minutes) TRACKING [TO INTERCEPT] (track) CLIMBING TO (intended level) ESTIMATING (first reporting point) AT (time)
Example 2: (location) PASSING (current level) CLIMBING TO (intended level) ESTIMATING (first reporting point) AT (time)
ATC use the instruction "CLIMB TO" a lot... Perhaps "on climb" has come from watching too many Youtube videos??
Only nine posts in and I've learnt something here already!
