Rock Climbing Mugs

Does AquaClimb's addition of a swimming pool to the bottom of a rock climbing wall make the activity less or more likely to score me a ride in an ambulance? Less because when I inevitably fall--repeatedly--I will hit...

The topic of digging tunnels and scaling walls has come up a lot lately in my house. The reason why being obvious: it's Dry January. Taking a hiatus from alcohol has left my wife and me extremely bored. We'll talk about...

Uh, is the ClimbStation climbing wall treadmill a sporting good or a nightmare? A fun way to stay fit and simulate rock climbing indoors, or the conveyor belt of vertical horror in the REM sleep I can't wake up from?...

While I don't care much for combined physical and mental challenges--or really either one on its own--I'm a total sucker for things that glow in the dark. And video games. And American Ninja Warrior. All of which, along...

Bishop Training's Climbingboxes, full bedroom sets with built-in bouldering walls, are impressive. Designed for budding climbers, they have a single bunk on top and a full mattress pad on the bottom, which also unfolds...

One more Bat Toy for my Bat Toy Box! This pocket-sized tube that adeptly screws into a grappling hook was originally produced by EDO Robotics in response to a desert warfare operator's request for a lightweight, reusable...

This multi-functional grappling hook can do a lot more than pincer up money for the coin laundry (though, in the style of the Claw Crane arcade game, it can do that too.) The assembly has a magnetic hook that itself can...

The only thing scarier than mountaineering is mountaineering in the pitch dark, but I still support ownership of Black Diamond's Distance 1500 Headlamp, because those 1500 long-range lumens could also benefit non-adventurers...
