Expert Climber (Ex)
A Horned Spirestalker's feet allow it to climb virtually any surface, no matter how slick or sheer. In effect, Horned Spirestalkers are treated as constantly being under a natural version of the spell spider climb.

4th-Level Advancement
Size Large; Speed 40 ft.; AC +2 natural armor; Attack bite (2d4); Ability Scores Str +4, Dex –2, Con +2; Special Attacks pull (tongue, 5 ft.), tongue.

Tongue (Ex)
A Horned Spirestalker can grab a foe with its tongue and draw the victim to its mouth. This tongue attack has a reach of 15 feet. The attack does no damage, but allows the creature to grab. A Horned Spirestalker does not gain the grappled condition while using its tongue in this manner.

You mean like this: Improved Shield Bash (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/improved-shield-bash-combat---final) Allows you to shield bash all day without ever putting yourself at additional risk.

Yes, but it's not a shield bash, it's an actual attack, or is it the same thing? also anyone have comments on the Horned Spirestalker? all I did was combine the gecko and chameleon statistics.

I'm not sure. But it says that attacking with a Klar (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment---final/weapons/weapon-descriptions/klar) is treated as an attack with a spiked shield.
I would argue that if the attack is treated as an attack with a spiked shield, a feat designed to help you to attack with your shield (spiked or otherwise) should work. From my reading, it looks like the main difference between a Spiked Light Shield and a Klar is principally a matter of flavor (and perhaps saving a few coins). It might be subject to some DM interpretation, but I think you'd be on fairly solid ground for making the argument.
