Aquatic Climbing Wall
No need for ropes or a belayer on this Aquatic Climbing Wall (see photo below); half of the fun is losing your footing and plunging into the water after a vigorous work out. Hammacher Schlemmer sells this 10-1/2-foot tall aquatic climbing wall, which bolts to a concrete deck of an in-ground pool. Created from fiberglass, the wall’s six panels are interchangeable and contain overhangs, underhangs, and cracks on two sides for a variety of climbing configurations. Installed, the climbing wall leans at a 10-degree angle over the pool so climbers fall feet first into the water. The wall disassembles for storage at the end of the season. Size: 145" inches high by 79 inches wide by 37 inches deep. Price: $11,999.95. Shipping varies.
