ABSTRACT:
Climbing apparatus includes a pole which may be positioned vertically or inclined, an element axially slidably, but non-rotatably, mounted on the pole for supporting the feet of a climber and a second element non-rotatably but axially slidably mounted on the pole for supporting the hands of a climber. Both the hand and foot supporting elements include selectively actuable brake shoes engageable with the pole. The non-rotatable mountings of both elements on the pole permit the pole to be positioned either vertically or inclined from the vertical as desired. A second embodiment of the invention provides a seat element similarly non-rotatably but axially slidably mounted on the pole above the foot supporting element and connected thereto by resilient tension means for causing the foot supporting element to follow the seat element upwardly during ascent, the seat element being provided with a brake shoe disengaged from the pole when the seat is unoccupied and engageable with the pole responsive to occupation of the seat.
