wall run
Defying gravity briefly
A wall run is a parkour or video game move where someone sprints at a vertical surface and continues running along it briefly before gravity pulls them down.
The technique requires momentum and quick footwork: He did a wall run to grab the ledge.
In games, wall running often lets characters reach otherwise inaccessible areas or chain movements together for style points.
