I’m about to start!
I´ve built my first Climbing Treadwall in 2022!
Since then:
Smooth Functionality.
200+ Hours of Training
I Have Sent Over 80+ New Rock Climbing Projects At My Limit
Progressing from 7a to 8a /
5.11d to 5.13b
My first Climbing Treadwall from 2022:
✅ Endless rotating wall powered only by my own body weight
✅ Custom-built to fit space requirements
✅ 2.5m high (8.2ft), 2m wide (6.5ft)
(all adjustable individually)
✅ Adjustable angle: vertical to 60° overhang
✅ Variable climbing speed (slow to fast)
✅ Fixed Rest holds to simulate real rock rests on climbing route
✅ Various training intensity (Vertical = low intensity / Overhang = high intensity)
The truth is, without proper endurance training, I was missing out on my true climbing potential.
And a lack of endurance can lead to:
-
Falling short on your hardest routes
-
Burning out mid-climb
-
Wasting countless attempts on projects
-
Struggling to push your limits
-
Feeling frustrated and plateaued
Because if you don´t have endurance, you're just missing out on sends
— imagine yourself unlocking your full potential!

Hey, I´m Toli!
From Slacklining to Climbing: My Journey
Until 2010, I was fully immersed in slacklining and highlining—balancing on a one-inch-wide webbing, rigging lines between mountain peaks, and testing my limits high above the ground. It was an incredible challenge that demanded focus, control, and a deep
connection with movement.
But over time, I craved something more dynamic, something that pushed both my mind and body in a different way. That’s when I discovered climbing, and it quickly became my new obsession.
By 2015, my love for climbing exploded. After finishing university, I finally had the freedom to travel—and I took full advantage of it. I explored climbing destinations all over the world, from towering limestone cliffs to remote granite walls. I was obsessed with climbing as much as possible, pushing my limits on every trip.
But reality hit hard when I returned home and started working full-time. With a Monday-to-Friday job, I couldn’t climb every day anymore. I felt myself getting weaker, and my weekend climbing sessions suffered. I needed a way to keep progressing, despite my limited time.
Then came 2020, and everything changed. With climbing gyms shut down and outdoor climbing restricted, I had no way to train. My strength and endurance started slipping, and I knew I needed a solution. That’s when I built my own DIY Climbing Treadwall—for a fraction of the cost of the original manufacturer’s version. More in my Blog!
It changed everything. I was able to train consistently, break through plateaus, and send harder routes on my weekends outdoors.
Now, I want to help other climbers avoid the same struggle. If you love climbing but feel stuck due to time constraints, you don’t have to accept stagnation. I’m excited to share my experience so more climbers can train smarter, stay strong, and maximize their climbing—even with a full-time job. Let’s make every climbing day count! 💪🔥
