EP Climbing_Project Portfolio

BRINGS CLIMBING to everyone

As a sport, climbing is steadily growing in popularity, due to its sense of adventure and in particular, its appearance at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. Not only does climbing offer an unparalleled mental and physical workout, it also helps to build confidence.

Since 1985, we have approached all of our projects with the same sense of passion, bringing climbing and its core values to everyone. Over the years, many climbing gyms, competition organisers, schools, and public organisations have placed their trust in us. We have grown together and have remained local partners for both our clients and the community.

EP Climbing is passionate about the climbing community and the success of all climbing projects. Transparency, honesty, and strong principles are the groundwork for all EP collaborations to guarantee reliable, confident, and long-term relationships with our clients.

Each and every project is unique and we strongly believe that building facilities around the world contributes to sharing sport climbing’s values.

We are excited to present to you a selection of recently completed projects in this portfolio and we hope you enjoy learning more about what we do.

The EP Team,

CLIMBING GYMS
