Abstract: An exercising device for the simulation of climbing includes a pair of side support units, each of which comprises a front leg and a back leg pivotally connected at their upper ends. The front and back legs of each pair are interconnected by a support member. A step in the form of a horizontal support platform is selectively engaged with the side support units at one of a plurality of different elevations so that the user may simulate climbing by repeatedly stepping up and down from the platform.
