BOULDERING WALLS
Bouldering is a form of rock climbing, performed without any rope or harness. The climber solves a route, called a “problem”, on a wall above a safety surface. The climber performs precise sequences of moves to solve the problem. Thick mats protect climbers from falling and are essential for the safety of the climber. Bouldering is great for all skill levels and can be done alone even if it’s usually done as part of a social group.

Adding an easier section to the bouldering area makes it accessible to students of all ages (primary to secondary school). Boulder walls are a great option if you don’t have enough height to install a sport climbing wall.

Top Rope
Top rope: Climbers are supported by a rope, either by a second belayer or by using a TRUBLUE™ auto belay. The advantage of being belayed by a second person is building trust and teamwork. Indeed, knowing that a partner is holding the rope allows the climber to get more comfortable and to rest in a harness without descending. This is an excellent option for beginner climbers or for advanced climbers who want to practice difficult moves and progress their skills.
This also becomes more detailed and recommended for assessments and great peer to peer training.
