You can get through Mt. Mortar just fine without it--the parts with Rock Climb are just extras for once you get it. You should be able to make it to the other exit though quite easily--just go through the entrance into the inner part of the cave, go right until you see an exit, go through that, and follow the path of Mt. Mortar. Of course, you can also just skip it and surf from one side to the other outside, but you should be able to make it through no problem.
Anyone able to give/trade me a ditto with 31 IVs so I can start breeding and get into the competitive scene? Would be MUCH appreciated :)
It will boost its STAT. If a Swift Swim Pokemon has for example 200, in the rain it will have a speed of 400. Swift Swim doubles the Stat, not the Base Stat
Counters to SD/Sleep power venusaur?

There's nothing wrong with two Pokémon of the same type. But maybe something like Ariados, that has Insomnia and huge Grass resist
If running Return, Resttalk Arcanine works fine. If running Earthquake, you can switch Moltres/Altaria in (watch out for SR and Sleep Powder) and launch off a Fire Blast / Flamethrower.
Sleep is the best, to get them to stop escaping, you can use block/mean look/web. And then use false swipe and spore. It's the best way to do it.
That's what I've done with no luck, I guess I just need to keep trying...
I only tried catching roaming Pokémon once, and I used Block and Hypnosis but it fled anyways so apparently the only way to go about doing it is being extremely persistent which I can't manage
Who is the overall best Calm Mind Minder out of Cresselia, Blissey, and Suicune--as in, which will defend/kill the most?
Slowbro is pretty good since it can take a few hits and deal some pretty good damage and has recovery in the form of Slack Off. Raikou is really good too. Latias is really powerful as well. It basically depends on what fits your team the best, there is no "best" pokemon for anything as they all have their weaks, just depends on what fits you.
Suicune will probably work best since it has the highest SpAtk and isn't weak to common physical types. Blissey should probably only run Calm Mind in Uber.
Cresselia is terrible, as Scizor and Tyranitar are so common. Carrying one Hidden Power makes it susceptible to the other Pokemon. Blissey is even worse, as Infernape will still destroy it, and Scarfers will make it even worse. Suicune is probably the best for its STAB type and balanced defenses.
Is Serebii correct in that the Fast Ship S.S. Aqua only runs on Wednesdays (Vermilion to Olivine) and Fridays (Olivine to Vermilion)? I remember in G/S/C it ran Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday (twice both ways).
EDIT: I found out that it runs from Olivine to Vermilion on Mondays and Fridays and from Vermilion to Olivine on Wednesdays and Sundays, just like in G/S/C.

Addressing both of you, you would need to baton pass block if you switch pokemon, otherwise it goes away.
I have a level 100 Blissey with evs of 252 HP and 252 Defense that I can't change--it has Aromatherapy, Seismic Toss, Toxic, and Softboiled... is there a better set I could have on it with this spread? (e.g., should Toxic go for Ice Beam?)!
In OU, probably Earth Power, because most of the steel types are Steel/<resistant to fighting>, so Earth Power would be better.
