Abstract
An apparatus and method permitting a user to perform a simulated climbing and full body exercise is provided. The design includes a frame and a pair of lever arms and a pair of foot platforms and a torso support. The frame is configured to place the operator's center of gravity in a position of falling away from the frame, lever arms, foot platforms and providing a torso support enabling the operator to be supported by hanging from the hands and supported by the feet and torso support. The frame may be rotated through varying angles from vertical permitting the operator's center of gravity to fall away from the frame and allow the operator to hang away from the frame further enhancing the climbing experience.

An apparatus permitting a user to perform a simulated climbing and full body exercise, comprising:
- a frame;
- a first rotational mounting point configured to support the frame;
- a lever arm positioned in association with said frame and configured to be engaged by the rider's left hand and;
- a foot platform positioned in association with said frame and configured to be engaged by the rider's left foot and;
- a lever arm positioned in association with said frame and configured to be engaged by the rider's right hand and;
- a foot platform positioned in association with said frame and configured to be engaged by the rider's right foot and;
- wherein said frame and;
- said first rotational mounting point and;
- said lever arms and;
- said foot platforms are configured to rotate about said first rotational mounting point and;
- an adjustment means associated with said frame and said first rotational mounting point configured to permit said frame, said lever arms and said foot platforms to be moved through a variable angle to place the operator's body in a position of falling away from the frame, lever arms and foot platforms permitting the operator to be supported by hanging from the hands and engaging the foot platforms by the feet.
An apparatus permitting a user to perform a simulated climbing exercise with the legs, comprising:
- a frame;
- a foot platform positioned in association with said frame and configured to be engaged by the rider's left foot and;
- a foot platform positioned in association with said frame and configured to be engaged by the rider's right foot and;
- each said left or right foot platform configured such that movement of each said left foot platform initiates movement of the right said foot platform and;
- a support configured to engage the operator's body and;
- wherein said frame and;
- said foot platforms and;
- said support are configured to place the operator's body in a position of falling away from the frame permitting the operator's feet to be engaged by said foot platforms and operator's body to be engaged by said support.
A method for enabling a user to perform a simulated climbing and full body exercise, comprising:
- providing a frame;
- employing a lever arm positioned in association with said frame and configured to be engaged by the rider's left hand and;
- employing a foot platform positioned in association with said frame and configured to be engaged by the rider's left foot and;
- employing a lever arm positioned in association with said frame and configured to be engaged by the rider's right hand and;
- employing a foot platform positioned in association with said frame and configured to be engaged by the rider's right foot and;
- wherein said frame and;
- said lever arms and;
- each said left or said right foot platform configured such that movement of each said left or said right foot platform initiates movement of the opposite foot platform and;
- said frame is configured to place the operator's body in a position of falling away from said frame, said lever arms and said foot platforms;
- enabling the operator to hang from the hands and engage said foot platforms with the feet;
- enabling the operator to perform a simulated climbing activity and;
- enabling the operator to perform a full body exercise.
