There is a great article I read this summer on the intermolecular forces that crested and other "sticky" geckos use to climb. In summary: They can stick to anything which is made up of molecules. But be sure to give them lots of other surfaces both vertical and horizontal to climb over, I'd hate to be in the same position sticking to the same thing everyday.

Oh of course, they'd have plants and the like, I just didn't want them to lose the climbing of the sides of their cages. Thanks S!
