The Sky Climber is a fun variation of the Horizontal Ladder which provides for a wide variety of griping positions. It develops the type of strength needed by rock climbers who use their upper body for dexterous holds and pulls on the mountainside.

 

In addition to strengthening the grip and forearm, the apparatus activates many of the upper body muscle groups, including the trapezius, latissimus dorsi, as well as the biceps.
