Treadwall M6 Pro Owner’s Manual—2017 

 

How hard is climbing on the Treadwall?

 

Climbing on the Treadwall is as hard or as easy as you 
choose. The wall is customizable in difficulty by altering the 
speed, angle and route you follow.  

How fast can I climb on the Treadwall? 

The Treadwall is easily adjusted via the speed lever. In addition, the auto-stop sys-
tem will keep pace with your stops and starts. We recommend starting off climbing at 
a slower controlled pace, focusing on smooth movement. 

How does the Treadwall work? 

The Treadwall operates by the weight of the climber. There are no electric motors. A hydrau-
lic brake controls the speed of descent. The Treadwall cannot move a er the climber steps 
off.  

How long should I climb for? 

 

This depends on your objectives. Test out various methods and take a look at our 
training section: www.brewerfitness.com/index.php/info/training 

Will the hold pattern get repetitious? 

Eventually, but it takes much longer that you might expect. The Treadwall has no beginning 
or end, and it con nually presents you with new challenges and possibili es. It is simple to 
set holds in other places and change the climb completely.  

Do I need special shoes to climb the Treadwall? 

No. Any well fi ed athle c shoe will do quite well. However, special climbing shoes are more 
enjoyable to climb in. Climbing shoes are very close fi ng with a special flat sole of special 
's cky' rubber. They are quite expensive. Karate shoes are a good inexpensive alterna ve. 

Can anybody use the Treadwall? 

Almost anyone can perform vertical movement. Anyone with a serious physical prob-
lem should consult with their doctor, and people with very long fingernails should 
think twice. We also suggest taking off your rings before climbing.  

Can you be too old to climb? 

Maybe, but we have reports of people well into their 70s who enjoy climbing on the 
Treadwall. One climber 72 years old recently completed the Everest challenge 
(29,028 ft.) - for the second time!
