wallcrawler
Scales sheer surfaces
A wallcrawler is someone or something that moves along vertical surfaces—most commonly a reference to Spider-Man, whose ability to scale walls defines the character.
The term extends to any superhero or creature with similar powers: The new comic introduces another wallcrawler to the team.
In literal use, it can describe climbing animals or insects.
