What is a mobile rock-climbing wall and how does it work?
The Climbing Company, LLC. provides a 24-foot portable climbing wall. The wall is outfitted with four distinct climbing surfaces, each with its own auto-belay safety system. All climbers are provided with safety harnesses that secure with locking carabineers to the auto-belay safety system. The patented auto-belay safety system, which is backed up with redundant dual hydraulic engineering technology, allows for smooth ascent and descent of the climbing surface. Climbing wall personel can concentrate on coaching and encouraging the climber.
Space needs are similar to those for concession trailers. Our climbing wall has a footprint of approximately 20 x 28 feet. Any surface that is fairly level is ideal for set-up of our rock climbing wall.
Our wall has four distinct climbing routes of difficulty. Dependent on skill level, type of event and degree of difficulty of the respective route, our climbing attraction will accommodate 60 - 100 climbers per hour.
No. There is really no age limit, but more a weight and reach limit. The auto-belay system allows for climbers between 40 and 240 pounds. Most young children under the age of 4 can’t reach between the handholds to scale the wall. The climbing wall is a great challenge to those young in age as well as those young at heart!
Yes. Mobile rock climbing walls have proven to be the safest amusement device in the industry. The Climbing Company, LLC will not tolerate unruly climbers and safety absolutely will not be compromised. We have had many climbers on our wall and we proudly stand behind our perfect safety record!
It is highly recommended that climbers wear flat-bottom shoes when scaling the climbing surface. This will promote secure footing, as well as protect the climber from stubbing his or her toes.
Yes, climbers must be in general good health. People with back problems, heart conditions, cast or splints, as well as pregnant women should not climb the wall. Your safety is top priority.
Yes, we are fully insured. Proof of insurance is always available.
The Climbing Company, LLC has several different financial arrangements tailored to fit your specific event. Please reference our Rates page for an overview of our different programs. Rental includes the rock wall and safety harnesses, and experienced climbing wall personnel.
No. We set up the wall approximately a half hour before your scheduled start time. The wall will be available for climbing for the agreed upon period of time.
Yes. We require a deposit to hold your booking date. Depending on the type of event, different deposit guidelines may apply. However, this will be explained so that both parties fully understand and agree to the terms and conditions in writing.
If inclement weather is forecasted for the day of your event and we both agree before the event that it would be best to reschedule to a future available date, the deposit will be used to hold the future date. Once we deliver the equipment, we cannot make any adjustments for any "acts of God." We do however always reserve the right to make the judgment call of heavy wind or bad weather ourselves if we deam an unsafe condition to exist. In such cases, it will still be considered "act of God" type weather. |
