Climbing Wall Makes A Much More Interesting Treadmill

Climb­ing is a great way for kids to learn fun­da­men­tal coor­di­na­tion skills (as well as get some seri­ous exer­cise). But the heights can be dan­ger­ous and scary for some, not to men­tion the cost to locate and build a climb­ing wall. The Climb­Sta­tion is basi­cally like a ver­ti­cal tread­mill for climbers, elim­i­nat­ing the need for a safety har­ness because you never get more than a few feet off of the ground.

After select­ing a climb­ing level from 1–12, you climb at your own speed. If you’re fast, the wall rotates faster, if you stop to think about your next move (climb­ing is very much a men­tal sport as well as phys­i­cal), the wall will slow down and stop if nec­es­sary to keep you in its cen­tre. It can also tilt between +15 degrees and minus 39 degrees (for the more adventurous).
