becoming ever more important up to the (final) climax


Explanation:
"culminate" means to come to a climax, so I would eliminate it.

"a climax" = (in a dramatic or literary work) a decisive moment that is of maximum intensity or is a major turning point in a plot.
For that reason, "final" may also be omitted.

"becoming more and more" is also appropriate.
