This is a general climbing device that can be used to climb up and down walls and cross ceilings. It is based on the pivoting action of the climber as it alternates between the grapples for support, which is readily evident when it traverses the ceiling. The boxing gloves are used during accent and decent along walls in order to help position the climber for shooting the next grappling hook. The spring dampens the tension between the grappling hooks when they are both engaged, which is an important feature that keeps the device from pulling itself apart or slamming itself against the wall.
