I'd love to see how you lock the climber in place so it doesn't fall. Such a simple design.

No pictures, so here is a screenshot of the cad model.

there is a small pneumaic piston (bimba 021-DNT) that engages a delrin wheel with teeth cut into it, the pistons shaft is supported by a bushing.

Yep. Rack from mcmaster carr. Pinnion is a 30t vex pro gear. Driven by a 775 pro at 100:1

Edit: Just realized the cad model shows a bag motor. its actually a 775 pro.
