Constructing
a climbing wall |
|
|
|
|
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
:
1 m to 6 m (3' to 20')
S slab for beginners not necessary, rather plan a vertical surface
The upper part must have an automatic angle adjustment system
|
|
Average height : 9 m to 12 m (30' to 40')
|
|
Number of protruding holds : 5 / sq. m
(5 / 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 : draw a red line at a 3 m (10')
height to indicate the limit of climbing without rope belaying (traversing).
In multi sport 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

Pyramide 's recommendation |
 |
|
Prefer a large diversity of surfaces (plywood
panels, M.G.V., Cliff) and closely follow the wall allocation :
2/3 beginners/intermediate levels, 1/3 training
