I knew it would be a matter of time when a geek would think about this! True to its form the Climbstation is the wall climber’s ultimate buddy. While it doesn’t provide the usual curves and edges they’d look for, it does provide an invigorating session of muscle training for your arms and legs.

You’re probably right to say it looks like a treadmill standing at perpendicular from the ground and attached with spokes to fit the game.

Here’s a jab about ClimbStation “Climbstation($TBA) is an indoor rock climbing simulator that designs to minimum space and maximum safety without using a harnesses or ropes and mobile design. It features include 7 different tracks available plus a unique auto-clim mode, you can select the track by click the screen and its user interface shows certain climbing statictiss, such as time, height, length of route climbed and calories burnt. ”

Quite perfect for a gym or a fitness club. A mall activity area fixture perhaps… well whatever it is, it will most likely be a long line to this ride.

If you see a pair of ClimbStations side by side they most probably are “linked” to give a multi-person effect for contests and competitions. Also, it has an ‘earthquake effect’ option. Brilliant idea. The unit comes with safety pads, a control unit and software for a single climber. Available in gray, white, black, blue, green, yellow and red colours.
