The Brewer's Ledge Treadwall Lets You Climb in Style

— September 22, 2012 — Lifestyle
The Brewer's Ledge Treadwall brings the fun of the rock climbing gym to the convenience of your home. The currently unpriced Treadwall is a never-ending rock face for you to exercise and play with.

The Treadwall has a 4-foot wide climbing area for you to explore. It works basically like a treadmill except its a vertical climbing wall. If you are a more hardcore climber, then you can upgrade to the pro model, which allows you to climb inclines and declines for more of a challenge.

The Treadwall is a great stand-in for a climbing wall, but it has to be said that something feels like it's missing if no matter how high you climb, you are still just a foot off the ground. On the other hand, you can no longer plummet to your death.
