http://www.instructables.com/community/English-Spiderman-climbs-walls-with-vacuum-cleaner/ is a youtube video on how to climb up a wall. But it doesn't show step by step on how to do it. This instructable is to show the step by step plans necessary to climb up a wall. Since I am only 12, my spelling and grammar might be bad. At the end, I spent around $15.
               I would recommend watching the youtube video before reading the rest of this instructable.

Step 1: Materials

There are a few materials needed because this instructable is rather an easy one. However every material is important. The pictures below show most of the materials.
         2 vacuums (preferably handheld or canister because they are light)
         2 tubes that can fit from a vacuum to a vacuum glove 
         6 by 1/2 screws with washers 
         2 pieces of wood, the larger the area, the more weight it can hold( but be careful, the wood can get very heavy )
         rubber to fit around the piece of wood
         2 handles
         tape
                              Most of the materials can be found at Lowes.

would you think some thin plexi-glass would work? I would bet it would be lighter, and wouldn't really wear too much

it should work

Is that rubber pipe insulation.
Football viking boy (author) says: Jul 4, 2010. 12:09 PM
There really is no extra insulation you need to put anywhere. The "rubber pipe" I think you are looking at is just tubing that connects the vacuum to the vacuum glove.
imthatguy1125 says: Jul 4, 2010. 3:50 PM
No I mean the rubber on the bottom so it will not slide down the wal
Football viking boy (author) says: Feb 6, 2011. 8:29 AM
Yes, the bottom of it is pipe insulation. Sorry. I just went to the store and grabed it without knowing .

whatd you use for the rubber it looks like bike inner tube
Football viking boy (author) says: Mar 26, 2010. 6:22 AM
The rubber is for friction. You can use a bike wheel, but it may be more expensive than the rubber I used that was $3.

what rubber did you use?

what rubber did you use?
Football viking boy (author) says: Feb 6, 2011. 8:27 AM
Sorry it took sooooooo long. The rubber was pipe insulation. It isn't the best rubber because it isn't really rubber. There are a lot better options. I just wanted to go for the cheapest.

how do you climb? i mean, how do you get it out of the wall and stick it again?
Football viking boy (author) says: Jul 2, 2010. 7:28 AM
Exactly what MichelMoermans said. These vacuums were my grandmas so I didn't want to take the power switch off and extend it. If they would have been my own vacuums, I would extend the switch and wrap it around around the tubing. Then screw the power switch from each vacuum to each vacuum glove, right next to the handle. Thanks for the question!
MichelMoermans says: Jul 1, 2010. 1:21 PM
Climbing is something you would do when you have two vacuums.

Getting it off the wall is rather easy, turn the vacuum off.

So if you want to climb walls you should make two of these and put the power buttons of each vacuum on the wood itself. That way you can turn it on and off with your hand.

so climbing would go like, attatch one to the wall by putput it a little higher. then the second one and so on....

Lol , much simplest : just make a hole on the wood and insect a air Switch . Switch ON= no suction Switch OFF = Suction
