Looks like a Jacobs ladder which is one of the best cardio workouts you can have.

So hard to do

It’s not hard, you control hard it is by how fast you are trying to climb it, it’s not a set speed. The amount of upvotes you’re getting shows that redditors don’t hit the gym lol

I would say in general it's "harder" because it engages more muscles, causing you to do more work over a wider portion of your body. Which causes you to become more fatigued faster than other forms of cardio, such as a stair stepper, running, or rowing. To say that its speed is the only thing that correlates to it being difficult to sustain would be a misstatement. The position of your body and the movement required also contribute to difficulty.

Or maybe for them personally it’s hard to do?

Or maybe they have no idea what they’re talking about and never stepped inside a gym in their life
