Climbing Up The Walls of Everything

Many gyms now have climbing walls, which mostly resemble a rising expanse of concrete, covered with large blobs of brightly coloured chewing gum. Great physical exercise, but lacking in much for stretching the imagination.

My idea is take the complete, and varied contents of a large department store like IKEA, Sears or Harrods, and attach it to a wall for climbing purposes. The wall would obviously need to be of substantial dimensions, but happily the Halfbakery knows few limits.

The entire value system and purpose of the various objects attached to the wall will therefore be converted into an index of hand and foothold usefulness. Larger items such as smooth surfaced fridges should provide a particular challenge, whilst a Rolex watch strap would quickly become a well worn foot hold.

Sofas and chairs would jut out at various angles to provide resting points where climbers might share their experiences of swinging across the famous "wig route", or negotiating the notorious "Power-Tools of Terror" passage.
