need suggestions for climbing surfaces

I had a sort of hammock thing made of rope, but it keeps growing mold. I was wondering if there were any better alternatives? I also can't get fake foliage to stick to the tank for very long (I've only used the kind with suction cups).

Cholla branches, stackable shower caddies, driftwood, slabs of oak bark, rope and twig bridges.
Zip ties and power lock suction cups can be helpful.

Fish net! Crabs absolutely love it for climbing and napping. It's easy to cut and lightweight so it can easily be held up with suction cups. You can get a pack of fish net at Michael's, Jo-Ann and Hobby Lobby for about $6. Be sure to give it a good soak in very hot water as it is
genuine used fish net and may have a little debris on it. The bonus is the crabs will love the latent fishy smell

I have the same issue with the suction cups! I use fish netting along the back of the tank, and I worked the suction cups through the holes of the fish net. I also use oak tree branches with acorns on them (free of bugs & pesticides).

. I used to have a wall made of coconut husk made for reptiles for them to climb, but they ate it little by little! I bought that at one of the pet stores awhile ago!
