Abstract
A foldable climber comprises a plurality of walls coupled to each other by a plurality of hinges, each wall being substantially perpendicular a support surface when the climber is in an assembled position. At least one platform is removably connected to at least two of the walls to stabilize the structure when in the assembled position. When the structure is in the collapsed position, the walls fold into a substantially flat configuration and define regions in which the platform can be stored.
