Imagine being able to build a mountain on your site. Climbing towers have many different uses: from team challenge, to individual challenge, building climbing skills, or recreation. Climbing towers and climbing walls can be built in various heights, with just about any imaginable structure on them. Overhangs, chimneys, mantels-- slanted inward or outward; all climbs are tailored to the needs of the climbers.

Climbing structures can be installed outdoors and indoors, to best utilize resources already on site. All structures are built with security systems to prevent unauthorized access while the tower is not in use.

  • Indoor climbing structures allow for year-round climbing, and a controlled environment in which to learn and teach skills.
  • Climbing walls are a great addition to any physical education program.
Natural Rock

Created from fiberglass reinforced concrete, Natural Rock is the closest thing you can get to the real rock. Each Natural Rock installation is unique in it's design, form and features. Natural rock has so many natural holds that artificial ones aren't needed. The Natural Rock climbing surface is seamless and available in granite, sandstone and limestone textures. Color options include RedRock, BeighRock and GreyRock created to mimic true rock color.

Panel Systems

A true rocklike wall, The Evolution climbing panels catapult climbing walls to new heights. The sub-frame structure is completely engineered and constructed from a metal frame designed to exceed current Climbing Wall Association (CWA) standards. Each panel is then connected to the frame creating an exciting climbing surface. Each panel is designed with 12 anchor points and was sculpted by an artist to mimic a natural form with contours and curves always present.
