Yes. Tasmanian devils are capable of climbing. Younger Tasmanian devils are better at climbing than older ones, which are stockier and have a build less suited for climbing, but their sharp claws enable them to grip tightly to climb.

How are the pads on the feet of Tasmanian devils used?
Tasmanian devils have dozens of tiny bumps on the rather large pads of their feet which appear to act as gripping pads. The friction created by the pads gives them better contact with surfaces for running. It gives the animal better speed and agility when in pursuit of prey. Younger, lighter Tasmanian devils use the pads to help them climb, but they are not arboreal (tree-dwelling) creatures. It is believed that, because young devils are sometimes prey of larger ones, climbing trees helps them to escape.
