"Geckos" for climbers

Rock and mountain climbing equipment makes use of materials with the texture and qualities of a gecko's toe pads. These lizards are renowned for their ability to hold on to and traverse surfaces vertically or even upside down. They are effective on walls, ceilings, glass or any other smooth surface. With the application of nano-material to special boots and gloves, humans can also grip any surface which makes many extreme sports and other types of entertainment safer and more widely accessible.

Michael Maysruck I think there already is a both a material called geckos feet that can either have lots of grip or but free and a suction cup type of climbing tool with a carrying hole for your feet to "stand" on but its still pretty expense and all I'm saying is that it may replace elevators/stairs but I highly doubt and is more likely going to be used in the military
