Is this safe?
Obviously yes. This system was manufactured and is maintained to the
highest standards. The "Auto-Belay" cable safety system is ASTM F-24 compliant.
Our climbing rock wall crew is trained to ensure a safe and positive experience. Bottom
line - this is very safe.
Ok, so what does "Auto-Belay" mean?
This is the hydraulic cable safety system that the climber hooks up
to. It allows them to automatically and safely descend to the ground on
their own. It also allows the wall crew to concentrate on coaching and
encouraging the climber instead of using a rope to manually control their
descent.
Is there an age limit?
We have had 3 year olds climb the wall and we have had a 75 year old
climb the wall (his name is Frank and he is the oldest climber to date).
Incidentally, senior citizens get to climb for free. It is a great way for us to
promote our climbing wall.
Is there a weight limit?
There is no real lower limit. If a child is strong enough to pull themselves
up the wall they can climb. We will help the younger climbers ascend to
a certain degree. However, the child needs to do most of the work. We don't
recommend that people climb that are heavier than 250 lbs.
How much
room do I need?
We operate 3 different size walls. The description of
each of the 3 walls is a close approximation. The standard 25' walls
require no overhead obstructions up to 25'. The footprint is 19' long by
8' wide. The 25' jumper rock wall combo needs 25' of vertical clearance
with a footprint of 20' deep by 40' wide. The 32' walls need 33' of
vertical clearance and has a footprint of 24' long by 8' wide. Always
allow additional area in front of the equipment for crowds to gather.
Our trucks tow the walls into place on tandem axel trailers. Tight turns
sometimes prohibit our trucks to maneuver into place.
