Configuration : beginners' surface (vertical
+ slight overhang) with automatic belay systems to ensure a constant
free access
Large overhang and small roof
|
|
Height : use the full height available
|
|
Width : give it greater importance, for
it determines the largest number of participants possible : 1.20
m (4') to 1.50 m (5') wide = one climbing route
|
|
Number of protruding holds : 6 to 8 /
sq. m (6 to 8 /10 sq. ft) to set several routes on the same wall
section
|
|
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

Pyramide 's recommendation |
 |
|
It is important to gain height or route length
: if possible plan to equip a roof space as from the beginning (or
an arch). Select a very flexible climbing wall system (like the
M.G.V.) for at least 2 or 3 routes : it will allow very quick route
modifications within the next 2 years after the first installation.
