Gymnasium Wall Bars

A series of horizontal wooden rungs mounted parallel to a wall at varying heights, intended for climbing exercises. The bars' smooth, pale wood shows faint scratches from repeated use, their fixed metal brackets bolted securely to the institutional green-painted cinderblock wall. Mel uses them to boost herself toward a ceiling vent, the wood pressing into her palms as she strains against their rigid structure. Other bars nearby remain unused during Lasky’s routine workout.
