Width : give it greater importance, for it determines the largest number of participants possible : 1.20 m (4') wide = one route for a pair climber/belayer

Configuration : plan inclines and overhangs/roofs : 1 to 6 m (3 to 20') for competitions
slab not necessary for the beginners, rather plan a vertical surface
automatic angle adjustment system in the upper part
plan a boulder area : structure under 4.50 m (15') high, large overhangs, for climbing without belaying, with deep landing mats

Average height : 9 to 12 m (30' to 40')

Number of protruding holds : 5 to 8 / sq. m (5 to 8 / 10 sq. ft)

Support : whether the available support is a concrete wall, a breeze block wall, a steel frame, timber columns or other, there is always a possibility to adapt a corresponding climbing wall support. The option of self-standing climbing wall supports is also a solution

Crash area : indoors = fold-away crash mats / outdoors = gravel base 30 cm (1') deep

Clearance zone : 3 m (10') in front of the largest overhang

Safety : plan floor belay anchors 2.50 m (8') in front of the wall (built in cases with removable cap) for a safe belay with beginners or automatic belay systems
draw a red line at a 3 m (10') height to indicate the limit of climbing without rope belaying (traversing work)
in multisport halls, plan a separation net

Other fittings / comfort items : lighting = minimal intensity of 300 lux even / heating and ventilation = temperature 16°C (60°F) to 18°C (65°F), the hot air must not accumulate on top of the wall
