ABSTRACT:
The exercise device provides a continuous loop of rope which is slowly fed downwardly from the greater extent of a davit-like housing, and through an open space in which the climber will perform the climbing exercise. The rope then continues through a friction pulley configuration driven by a variable speed gear motor, and then upwardly through the davit-like housing to again travel through the open space. The speed of the motor can be controlled in a feed-forward manner where the user sets the speed, as in one training configuration where the speed of the rope is to be exceeded by the climber, or where the progress of the climber movement may be determined by sensors which determine how close to a pre-determined height the climber has progressed.
