ABSTRACT:
An improved climbing exercise machine which has hand grips and foot pedals mounted to reciprocating separate sliding trucks which move within a track structure, wherein the sliding trucks are connected to each other by chains for mechanically providing co-ordinated leg and arm movements that simulate a vertical climbing action in a "homolateral pattern" and a "cross crawl pattern". A change from a "homolateral pattern" to a "cross crawl pattern" is easily facilitated by a longitudinal opening provided along the center of the track structure whereby the chains linking the right handle to the right foot pedal and the left handle to the left foot pedal, respectively, are interconnected via the longitudinal opening.
