Is that an athletics, acrobatics, or dexterity check?

An acrobatics check is a dexterity check

But like you get to apply your acrobatics proficiency bonus (at least it was that way in 4e)

Well, yeah, that's how checks work

You add your modifier for the relevant ability (dexterity) and, if you are proficient in the relevant skill (acrobatics), you also add your proficiency bonus

You apply both? Doh!
