Wow... all the injury potential of a campus board and a Bachar ladder in one handy package, held together with Prusik loops!

All for the bargain price of about £80 per rung. On their site they seem to be using it with a single central attachment point as well. I love a good training gimmick but this is a little too silly even for me.

Its a little injury capacitor for young people. Storing up injury to suddenly release it when they turn 28.

They also chose the same font style as the Beastmakers...
It's so similar that at first I thought it was made by the BM boys...

H8RS GONNA H8  :ras:

I have no idea myself, just thought it was worth seeing what the UKB training monsters made of it. I wonder if there are any sound general principles behind it?

I like the adjustable rung depth mechanism.

unstable equals wobble equals a little bit more difficult in certain regards, but will also be more forgiving on the drop downs since the rung/rig moves with you so may be easier.

too gimmicky, it's unlikely to be the future in the rodma household.

less likely than buying double kneepads for that matter

There is a different video on that site that is much better than the one in the OP but it still feels like a jack of all trades, master of none and an injury waiting to happen.

Unstable campusing must be the crossfit of climbing. And therefore

Do you even Cross, Bro?







Always wondered if the word "dress" was supposed to be in there somewhere...

When I saw the thread title, I was reminded of an anecdote of Steve Dunning's about a friend's home training set-up of a campus board entirely held together with "No More Nails" glue.  Creaking and flexing rungs; 1-5-9 probably had an E grade!

I bet udini buys one for his madhouse wall.

Yup, gotta have those running volume traverse into Parkour dyno onto unstable campus ladder...

It's just what Gullich always intended!
