Mountain Climbing Machine

A mountain climbing machine, comprising:

• and
• a first stand and a second stand, wherein the first stand and the second stand cooperate with each other, are foldable for storage and together provide support for the mountain climbing machine when unfolded;
• and
• two sets of pedal assemblies mounted on the second stand,
• wherein each pedal assembly comprises:
• a pedal for a user to step on with both feet;
• and
• a sliding block for supporting the pedal and slidably mounted on the second stand, driving the sliding block to move when the user steps on the pedal;
• and
• the sliding block is provided with at least one connection terminal;
• and
• a traction cable connected to the sliding blocks of the two sets of pedal assemblies and configured to drive the two sliding blocks to perform reciprocating motions in opposite directions on the second stand when the user steps on the pedals;
• and
• at least one elastic damper connected between the two sets of pedal assemblies through the connection terminals on the sliding blocks, to provide a resistance when the user steps on the pedals and drives the two sliding blocks to perform reciprocating motions in opposite directions;
• and
• wherein a climbing resistance of the mountain climbing machine is adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of the elastic dampers, and/or replacing the elastic damper with those of different damping coefficients.
