There was one of these at a local climbing gym we use to have in town, they modified the tilt mechanism to allow you to climb under it (like you’re on the ceiling)… was amazing, really wish that gym was still around.

@jess: that’s why it comes in 6′ wide… the point isn’t really to climb straight up, you can focus on horizontal grabs as you work your way up… and trust me, you can adjust this thing to go at near-freefall speeds if you insist on taking the fastest route to the top…

Unfortunately this doesn’t work for me at only 5′8 it’s really only a step up before i’m at the top and a missed step to the floor. for shorter people though, this is very popular in my rock gym.

My highschool had one of these in the fitness room. It was really cool for about 7 minutes. hahahaha.

Ooh! I want one for my place, if only they weren’t so expensive! I’d feel quite self-conscious using one in the gym.

I love this! I love the workout climbing gives you but I’m terrified of heights. I’ll have to find one of these nearby.

I climbed one of these back in 1991. It was a n awesome workout. The gym even had a competition to see who could reach a cumulative height of Mt. Everest on summer. Lots of fun. Every gym should have one.
