Rail-guided climbing system which can be used in particular as a climbing formwork, climbing scaffold, climbing protection wall, and/or climbing working platform, including a climbing shoe device and a first climbing shoe rail (9a, 9a', 9a") and a second climbing shoe rail (9b, 9b', 9b") that are connectable with each other and displaceable with respect to one another by means of a for a lifting device (14, 15; 16, 17; 18; 19), wherein the climbing shoe device which can be arranged in a stationary manner on a building comprises: - a shoe base body, - at least one rail guide element (3a, 3b, 3a', 3b') which is coupled to the shoe base body and is designed such that, in a guide position of the rail guide element (3a, 3b, 3a', 3b') relative to the shoe base body, the first climbing shoe rail (9, 9a', 9a") and the second climbing shoe rail (9b, 9b', 9b") can be guided directly or indirectly from the climbing shoe device, and - first (10, 10 1, 10 2, 10a) and second latching/snap-action elements (10', 10", 10b), each of which is designed such that, in a pivoted-out and/or extended hooked-in position relative to the shoe base body, the first climbing shoe rail (9a, 9a', 9a") can be hooked by the first climbing shoe rail (10, 10 1, 10 2, 10a) and the second climbing shoe rail (9, 9b', 9b") by the second latching/snap-action element (10', 10", 10b) into the climbing shoe device counter to a direction and, in a pivoted-in and/or retracted traversed position relative to the shoe base body, the first latching/snap-action element (10, 10 1, 10 2, 10a) can be traversed by the first climbing shoe rail (9, 9a', 9a") and the second latching/snap-action element (10', 10", 10b) by the second climbing shoe rail (9b, 9b', 9b") in the direction, characterized in that the first and second latching/snap-action elements (10, 10 1, 10 2, 10a, 10', 10", 10b) are each coupled to the shoe base body so as to be displaceable between the hooked-in position and the traversed position such that, when the first (10, 10 1, 10 2, 10a) or the second latching/snap-action element (10', 10", 10b) is in the hooked-in position, the other of the first and second latching/snap-action elements (10, 10 1, 10 2, 10a, 10', 10", 10b) can be in the traversed position, hooked-in position, or a position in between. - a shoe base body, - at least one rail guide element (3a, 3b, 3a', 3b') which is coupled to the shoe base body and is designed such that, in a guide position of the rail guide element (3a, 3b, 3a', 3b') relative to the shoe base body, the first climbing shoe rail (9, 9a', 9a") and the second climbing shoe rail (9b, 9b', 9b") can be guided directly or indirectly from the climbing shoe device, and - first (10, 10 1, 10 2, 10a) and second latching/snap-action elements (10', 10", 10b), each of which is designed such that, in a pivoted-out and/or extended hooked-in position relative to the shoe base body, the first climbing shoe rail (9a, 9a', 9a") can be hooked by the first climbing shoe rail (10, 10 1, 10 2, 10a) and the second climbing shoe rail (9, 9b', 9b") by the second latching/snap-action element (10', 10", 10b) into the climbing shoe device counter to a direction and, in a pivoted-in and/or retracted traversed position relative to the shoe base body, the first latching/snap-action element (10, 10 1, 10 2, 10a) can be traversed by the first climbing shoe rail (9, 9a', 9a") and the second latching/snap-action element (10', 10", 10b) by the second climbing shoe rail (9b, 9b', 9b") in the direction, characterized in that the first and second latching/snap-action elements (10, 10 1, 10 2, 10a, 10', 10", 10b) are each coupled to the shoe base body so as to be displaceable between the hooked-in position and the traversed position such that, when the first (10, 10 1, 10 2, 10a) or the second latching/snap-action element (10', 10", 10b) is in the hooked-in position, the other of the first and second latching/snap-action elements (10, 10 1, 10 2, 10a, 10', 10", 10b) can be in the traversed position, hooked-in position, or a position in between.
