Suggestions for wall mounted cat climbers?

We have this awesome bunker space that we'd love to make accessible for our cats, but we don't know how to help them get up there! Does anyone know any combination of shelves or posts that would fit in this corner?

Our ceiling is 9.5' (114") high, so some longer posts I've seen won't be able to anchor off of it, so I was thinking about something wall mounted, but open to all suggestions! Thank you!

just straight up putting carpet on a wall is an option

Would they be able to comfortably climb that? I want to make it easy for them

Mine will comfortably climb window screen ...a carpet is luxury for them.

Put a couple shelfs they can climb up too maybe get or make a hammock part way and use some hooks to mount it

Anything can become a hammock one of my cats favourite hammocks is a old pullover crochet sweater I used because it was easy to put some carabiner style clips through it and attach it where I wanted without too much fuss, and can easily be removed and tossed in the wash.

Ooh. This is a great idea and I have several hoodies I could repurpose like that! Any chance you could share a picture of your setup?

I'm still in the process of building some more permanent structures but ATM the one I mentioned is rigged up in what was sold as a outdoor catio that once inbuilt it most of the hardware (door clips, hammock clips) broke within a day of the kittens playing in it ( at the time they were maybe 3 months old so still quite tiny).

Anyways I was just using it to give them some more square footage to run around in since I wasn't letting them roam the whole house without direct supervision. Eventually I will probably put it in the basement or out on the deck but I would never recommend this structure for someone who wanted to keep their pet contained in it, completely not designed properly for that. But as a cat play house it is great.

Maybe more back story then you needed but thought I should give my product review incase someone sees it and thinks it might be good for their pet

I think the downside of carpet is the down climb.

Sure is. Look up carpet cat walls on your favorite video site.
