1. The exoskeleton hand uses small claw-like spikes to dig deep into turf, allowing the user to pull themselves up towards the top of a wall. 

2. The Ascendo-skeleton recreates the technology that spiders and other insects use to climb. All the user needs to do is to slide their fingers into the wooden rings that hold the spikes and tighten them to the ideal fit. The rings use the technology of pipe clamps, allowing the user to tighten and loosen at will. Once they do this, they can begin climbing. The Ascendo-skeleton's technology can be adapted to create other exoskeletons that allow users to scale any surface, not just turf walls. The Ascendo-skeleton allows mountain climbers to scale grass and moss surfaces that they were never able to climb before. These moss terrains can be found in the Swiss Alps. Usually, hikers have to use the footpath to get around the moss walls, but now they will be able to scale them as they please.
