Trying to figure out how I can find the certian face of a part with raycasting

I’m making a wall climbing mechanic, and I need some help trying to figure out what face the wall is so that the player can snap onto a specific offset so that they can get onto the part.

Here is the code

-->> Wall Climbing <<--
local origin = character.PrimaryPart
local direction = origin.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -1)
local params = RaycastParams.new()

local rayPart = Instance.new("Part")
rayPart.Name = character.Name.." Ray Part"
rayPart.Anchored = true
rayPart.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
rayPart.CanCollide = false
rayPart.Parent = workspace.Terrain
rayPart.Size = Vector3.new(1, 1, 2)

params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {character, rayPart}
params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
params.IgnoreWater = true

while task.wait() do
	rayPart.CFrame = direction

	local origin = character.PrimaryPart.CFrame
	local direction = origin * CFrame.new(0, 0, -2)
	rayPart.CFrame = direction * CFrame.new(0, 0, 1)
	
	local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(origin.Position, direction.Position - origin.Position, params)

	if raycastResult then
		if raycastResult.Instance.Name == "ClimableWall" then
			
			character.PrimaryPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(raycastResult.Position)
		end
	end
end

You can use the normal which is a direction vector that you can return from raycasting, and then align your character to that

Ok so, I’ve began printing out the normal, and its been giving me the values, but how would I figure out the position from just this?
