I'll echo this. This will make your climb sooooo much quicker. Stick a light gas spring in line with your cylinders that will force the hooks up when you have no pressure retracting the cylinder. You will use half the air volume to climb, hopefully cutting your climb time in half!

Love the design, great work!
