A climbing trainer comprising a movable climbing training wall surface defined by a continuous belt rotatably disposed about a pivotable frame and controllably actuated to rotate at a selected speed, the pivotable frame being rotatably supported by a support frame and the relative rotational position of the pivotable frame and support being selectable to provide a desired inclination of the climbing training wall within a range including positive inclinations and negative inclinations from a maximum negative inclination were said wall is disposed horizontally facing downward to a minimum negative inclination where said wall is disposed vertically, the trainer also comprising a control panel accessible to a user from the climbing training wall and at least one emergency stop switch coupled to an accessible actuatable pad.

[ We claim:] [1.] A climbing trainer having a movable training wall surface adapted to facilitate climbing training by a user, comprising:a support frame;a pivoting frame having first and second ends and a pivot axis intermediate the first and second ends, the pivoting frame being pivotably supported by the support frame allowing relative rotational movement about the pivot axis between the pivoting frame and the support frame said pivoting frame having a range of rotational movement between a vertical orientation and a horizontal orientation, said range of motion defining a range of movable climbing wall surface inclinations including at least a range from vertical to downwardly facing horizontal;means for selectively allowing and preventing relative rotational movement between the support frame and the pivoting frame about the pivot axis;a movable climbing training wall surface comprising a continuous belt having an outer surface adapted to incorporate climbing holds, said continuous belt being carried by and rotatable about said pivoting frame, the continuous belt being restrained from movement transverse to a plane of the climbing training wall surface so as to resist forces tending to pull climbing holds incorporated in the outer surface of the continuous belt away from the wall surface and those tending to push said holds towards the wall surface, the climbing training wall surface being moveable in a direction parallel to a plane defined by the training wall surface by rotation of the continuous belt about said pivoting frame; andan actuator adapted to rotate said continuous belt about the pivoting frame, whereby the climbing training wall surface is moved to provide a simulated climb, the inclination of the climbing training wall surface being adjustable by rotation of the pivotable frame over a range of inclinations including negative inclinations.
