So we've seen Go!Anna climbing things before - but I should point out that she can only do that when she's wearing nothing over her hands and/or feet (specifically her fingers/toes) which is why her costume is designed with no gloves or boots. I always thought it was bit weird that Spiderman, for example, could still climb a wall when covered head to toe, or even moreso in shoes when dressed as Peter Parker. Go needs direct contact, skin to surface to be able to adhere to it - preferably rougher surfaces will give her a better hold… glass and shiny metals not so much so. Her finger and toe tips have more in common with a gecko than a goanna - the former uses millions of microscopic hairs in it's toe tips whereas the latter uses claws to climb trees. In hindsight I should have given her claws… claws are cool!
