Vertical treadmill that's up, up and away

Juniper Foo | Aug 27, 2008

Fancy climbing walls that never end? Well, I don't. But for rock climbers who can't get enough of sheer vertical wall workouts, Brewer's Ledge has a solution for even those holed up in land-strapped public flats. Enter the Treadwall.

Exactly as its name implies, it's a vertical treadmill that comes with knobs for climbing, adjustable angles and a Polar heart-rate monitor for safety. There's no better way to illustrate how this works than to watch the video.

What we like even more is that this is motor-less, using the weight of the climber to pull the wall down. The only catch for mountain goats (of the human variant): You won't get any vertigo-charged moments to get your adrenaline peaking, since this stands at only a couple of feet above ground. In fact, the only thing height-challenged is a sticker price that starts from US$10,000.
