Mar 29 2007Rock-climbing wall isn't so rocky

Illoiha is a designer gym in Japan that has this Omotesando climbing wall which, instead of recreating the side of a mountain like most rock-climbing walls, recreates that of a regular indoor wall. In addition to the regular grips the wall also includes picture frames, mirrors, deer heads, bird cages, and flower vases. I hope somebody takes this to the next level and starts creating walls that look like stuff you'd really want to climb. Like the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty or the tree outside your really hot neighbor's bedroom.

A few more shots after the jump.
