Wall climbing is great fun but acrophobics and people who lack commitment cannot actual enjoy the fun. Thus, when simulation of the real is making experiencing just anything so easy, we have the ClimbStation, a vertical treadmill which provides all pros and amateurs a real climbing experience without the need of any safety equipment or the fear of heights, climbing simulation of sorts.
The computer controlled treadmill uses hydraulics to achieve tilts ranging between +15 degrees and minus 39 degrees. Embedded with intelligent sensors, the treadmill lets you scale 1-12 levels, in your preferred speed and thought of action.
Easily transportable over a trailer, the ClimbStation would make for a utility installation in theme parks etc, where the EUR 38,000 (about $53,000) climbing simulator would definitely lure many to make up for its cost.
