As a climber I would love to see a robot replicate an ascender style of getting up the rope.

All you need is 2 of those and friction to ascend a line, no knots or loops needed.
Or even a set of prusik knots to get up the rope.
That being said I think we are going to see a lot of rotary systems as they lean on strengths teams have already developed in the past.
