Abstract
A climbing exercise apparatus having homolateral and contralateral modes of operation may include a frame supporting generally vertically oriented reciprocating members. The reciprocating members may include foot supports fixedly secured at the lower distal ends thereof, and handlebars secured proximate the upper distal ends of the reciprocating members. The reciprocating members path of motion may include vertical and lateral components.
