What is the consequence of a blocked static port during a climb in a conventional pitot-static system?

The sensitive altimeter freezes at the altitude where the blockage occurred, the VSI reads zero, and the ASI underreads. The sensitive altimeter overreads, the VSI indicates a rapid climb, and the ASI overreads. The sensitive altimeter underreads, the VSI indicates a descent, and the ASI freezes. The sensitive altimeter freezes at the blockage altitude, the VSI reads zero, and the ASI overreads.
