Mounting c2 rower erg to the wall and using as a ski erg?
Is it possible to hang the rower erg on the wall and use it as a skiing erg?

If you went to all the effort to bolt it to the wall through the middle of the legs then yes.
My Model C sits on its nose and all I use it for these days is to test the PM2 monitors that I repair. Plug the monitor in and pull the handle with one arm to verify it turns on and starts counting etc.
Bolting it to a solid concrete wall probably not that hard, bolting it to timber and Gib, the typical wall construction over here would require a big sheet of thick plywood screwed to the wall first that hit the timber in as many places as possible.
You wouldn't want it to fall off the wall while you were using it.
Shouldn't think that Concept 2 recommends it.
