'I' is the subject of the subordinate, relative clause modifying 'mountains'; it has an elided relative pronoun: The mountains [that] I have climbed help me enjoy the fall.

The main clause is this: The mountains help me enjoy the fall.
A subordinate relative clause can be inserted. It further restricts the subject (mountains): The mountains that I have climbed help me enjoy the fall.

I’d say the main clause is the entire sentence. The relative clause is restrictive and therefore an indispensable part of the noun phrase it defines, so the subject is the mountains [that] I have climbed.
