Claim 14:
15. A climbing exercise machine, comprising:
a base support frame configured to contact a floor or ground surface;
a first elongate upright, rigidly connected to the base support frame at an obtuse angle relative to the floor or ground surface;
a second elongate upright, horizontally spaced apart from and parallel to the first upright and rigidly connected to the base support frame at an obtuse angle relative to the floor or ground surface;
a first movable handle and a first movable foot pedal, vertically spaced apart from each other and each being slidably engaged with the first upright to enable reciprocating linear movement along the first upright;
a second movable handle and a second movable foot pedal, vertically spaced apart from each other and each being slidably engaged with the second upright to enable reciprocating linear movement along the second upright;
an adjustable resistance mechanism, mounted on a stationary portion of the machine;
an electronic device or system enabling a user to perceive digital content while using the climbing exercise machine, comprising (i) a tablet computer mounted on a mounting apparatus of the climbing exercise machine and (ii) at least two sensors, disposed within or on a surface of the climbing exercise machine and configured to transmit data pertaining to a function of the climbing exercise machine to the tablet computer; and
a linkage assembly, interconnecting and synchronizing the first movable handle, the first movable foot pedal, the second movable handle, the second movable foot pedal, and the adjustable resistance mechanism,
wherein the interconnection and synchronization provided by the linkage assembly enables reciprocating concurrent movement of the first handle, the first foot pedal, the second handle, the second foot pedal, and the adjustable resistance mechanism to simulate a resisted continuous climbing motion for a user, and
wherein the linkage assembly comprises multiple flexible components, each guided by pulleys.
