So cool.

Projects are cool.

Maybe people should build climbing cubes, meaning jungle gyms made of knotted ropes, very uneven and challenging, a thick tangle. Climbing is a human instinct. like drawing, singing or dancing, but we stop doing it after childhood. Maybe we shouldn't. I could see lounging at the top with covfefe.

Maybe you will make a business designing and selling climbing cubes. I just think it makes people happy to move in three dimensions, up as well as sideways. Everybody loves snorkeling videos.

You could sell a kit. Or a book of how-to.

I am envisioning a place to hang out, pun intended, not just formally defined exercise equipment. An indoor cube room.

These rope climbing structures already exist for playgrounds. But they might be sold for whole-family leisure indoors. Not just children and not just outdoors.

My idea is a very random design, not at all a uniform grid. We have enough of that. I think people want some cockamamie randomness, like in nature. Different thicknesses of rope, confused and random knotting. Nature-like.

Great.

Like other activities, you might climb slower and less when 60 but you are still doing it. Particularly if you have always been doing it, so the muscle memory is there from earlier years.

A climbing wall is a big scary thing, just for the fit; to me a climbing rope cube would cushion you if you slipped more, and could be done at a low level by anybody. A wall is tense, the cube would be relaxing, even for a snooze.
