At last, soon there will be no need to ever go outside, or even to a sweaty, dust-filled climbing gym, to experience "the thrill and adrenaline of free soloing." Game maker Human Soft has announced that it is developing a rock-climbing game for Wii called HardGrip.
I quote: "HardGrip takes players on a tour of exotic and stunning locales around the globe as they compete in open events or invitation-only official races. With no harnesses or lifelines, players must solve seemingly impossible challenges and conquer their fear to make it to the top. Speed counts, but climbers who prove their ingenuity and daring will earn more respect. As climbers progress, their skills will have to become truly awesome to make the grade."
Become truly awesome in the comfort of my own home? Sign me up!

that just might be in the nail in the coffin for me to get a Wii!
I think that I would need to hire and test this one before comitting to a purchase. Kind of defeats the whole purpose of climbing really, but should be good for a laugh!
