The correct preterite form is "cayeron" (often with the reflexive pronoun: "se cayeron").
Full sentence: "Estaban trepando/ subiendo a un árbol cuando se cayeron."
Explanation: use the imperfect (estaban trepando) for the ongoing action and the preterite (se cayeron) for the completed interrupting action.
