Every time I go swimming somewhere, I think to myself “wouldn’t this be more fun if I were just climbing out of the water, instead of swimming?” I mean, what’s the fun in swimming if you’re actually in the water most of the time? I’m totally not being sarcastic in the least. That’s why I have to get one of these Floating Iceberg Climbing Walls.
Rock climbing walls are fun on land, so why not drop $5400 on getting one for the water? Sure, you have to worry less about falling and breaking your neck in the water, but aren’t there enough fun things to do while swimming? To paraphrase a young jedi in training “I could almost buy my own boat for that!” I do see two rather fun uses for this. One involves scaring the hell out of people boating in the middle of the night. The other would be sneaking over to someone’s house and inflating this sucker in someone’s pool.
This is cool (lol). Love the idea of falling after climbing the “highest peak”…thrilling isn't it?
I visited the US Virgin Islands a few years ago and stayed at a resort where they had one in the water on their beach. It was ridiculously difficult to pull yourself out of the water and on to the first level of handles. The other side was a slide and was fun to jump off of.
Too expensive for a practical joke, too fragile for doing serious damage to an enemy. A $5400 white elephant if there ever was one.
