The Freestanding Octagon Rung Horizontal Ladder is one of our more challenging overhead climbers while also being one of the most entertaining. The hanging ring grips move freely to allow children to swing from one to the next without losing their momentum; creating a natural rhythm and effortless motion with each ring that they grab. The difficulty reveals itself when this rhythm is interrupted at each of the 45 degree bends. Momentum will pull children past the next ring instead of straight towards it, which gives them a chance to catch the next ring as they swing back and forth. This prevents it from being too easy for older kids, and utilizes the full 360 degree range of motion of the hanging rings. Children will appreciate this unexpected variance, which keeps the Freestanding Octagon Rung Horizontal Ladder from being too simple or repetitive and allows them to practice hand-eye coordination in a fun, active setting.
