Can someone help me understand if I can this text: “かたつぶりそろそろ嫌れ富士の山”In the order listed in the picture below ? (I know you read “tategaki (縦書き)” from right to left, but I’m wondering if it make sense reading it while the text is “climbing up”

It’s a haiku, a traditional poetic form, so it’s usually ought to be read in the traditional way, from right to left. But, it’s poetry, so the author might as well invert it or make it readable both ways. Though, this haiku is from 一茶発句集 and the order you read the lines in is the correct one (although on the internet you can find people who read it the other way too).
