I was oogling a climbing wall recently. The grips and toeholds bolt into the wall. These grip points are a wide rangle of interesting blobs, featuring groove, holes etc. Apparently, old ones can be unbolted and new ones attached to provide climbing variety.
I propose that solid epoxy casts of
body parts be substituted for these plebian handholds. The wall would be studded with hands, faces, genitals, big toes, and all the other external apparatus the human body offers. The overall result would be akin to Dante's lake of ice, but vertical. It would also make for an interesting climbing experience!

Jake and Dinos Chapman 1995. Either of these could be expanded or cannibalised to make a natty climbing wall. [calum, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004]

I'm thinking this one can't be more than a 4. [k_sra, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004]

You'll be pulling our legs. |

“Victory seemed assured, but Jack made an unwise choice, avoiding the hard male appendage within easy reach and lunging for the buttocks well beyond it. He missed, and the fall put him in last place. Jack said later that ‘I’d be damned if I was gonna touch that thing. It was just too realistic.’” |
|
| |
It's not shock art until you make all the
appendages animatronic. + |
|
| |
Why not add the occasional body fluid to increase the challenge? |
|
| |
“I was doing just fine until the foothold I
was resting on went flaccid” |
|
| |
MMmmmm...boobies....*slip* AUGH!!! |
|
| |
They (climbing hold manufacturers) have had single female breasts as climbing holds for quite some time. Nice shape to boot (or hold). |
|
| |
I'm not hanging off anyones arse. |
|
| |
Yes...unfortunaetly, to use the arse appendage, you need to use what is commonly known as a "crack hold" - insert hand in arse, rotate thumb to create resistance, pull yourself up. Not sure I could do that.... |
|
| |
Most excellent. Big croissant. |
|
| |
Reminds me of the work of Jake and Dinos Chapman. I've posted links. Maybe best not to look at them if you are of a sensitive disposition. |
|
| |
The visions conjured up by this are marvellous. + |
|
| |
"Did you see that bloke here last week?"
"Yeah, fell off when he couldn't concentrate on his handhold"
"Bet he felt a right tit..." |
|
| |
Those with "outey" bellybuttons have an in-built advantage. |
|
| |
A "celebrity body parts" climbing wall would surely be inevitable. |
|
| |
[lostdog] Well, not really "in-built" eh? |
|
| |
On a busy wall, you run the risk of grasping another climber's parts, resulting in either Benny-Hill-style anarchic frivolity, or David-Cronenberg-style horrific tearing. + anyway. |
|
| |
Sweating, straining, trying to reach the parts others people can't reach. Body parts and climbing go hand in hand. |
|
| |
Brings a new meaning to a helping hand. |
|
| |
"Body parts and climing go hand in hand": the word "climing", is that a contraction or perhaps slang that I was previously unaware of? |
|
| |
They got one in Norway... if you go after hours [link]. |
|
| |
I'm not even going to pretend to understand that one bliss. |
|
| |
Good link, [k_sra]. I spent the better part of an hour Googling for the stylistically similar frieze depicted in "Devil's Advocate" with Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino to no avail. Your link is better in any case. |
|
| |
I'm sure it'll lead to a lot more ogling of the wall. |
|
| |
Might be good for my climbing as I'd actually have a look at the wall and think about planning out my route rather than just going for it. (not that I'd adjust my route to make sure I got a good grip of that particularly juicy... |
|
| |
Could also be used for really diffcult overhang sections where you need artificial climbing aids to gain a hold - but I would have no idea where to insert my nuts... |
|
| |
[goff] in the crack, where else? |
|
| |
[scuba] No, if it was a crack, I'd use a friend instead... |
|
| |
[goff] try the crevice just below that navel to your right |
|
| |
Could save on construction costs of the wall by using piled up perverts on community service. |

//They (climbing hold manufacturers) have had single female breasts as climbing holds for quite some time// Do any manufacturers make married female breasts? |
