Narrative:
Aircraft was instructed to climb because they were not comfortable accepting a visual approach. After giving a vector to take them out towards final; the rate of climb was slower than expected and the aircraft entered a higher MVA at a lower altitude. Was thinking of a rule that applied to departures.
