How much space is required for the mobile climbing wall?
To set up the wall we need a firm and flat area of 6m frontage by 10m depth. Please also ensure that there are no over head cables or over hanging trees. We also require suitable vehicular access to the area where the wall is set up. Gated access (or otherwise) needs to be at least 2.5 m wide, and the access road needs to be wide enough to navigate an 11.6m long combined trailer and 4x4 towing vehicle. Towing height in the transport position is 2.6m. The overall height of the wall once erected is 8.1m.
How many people can climb the mobile climbing wall at one time?
4 climbers at one time. An average climb lasts for about 5 minutes, thus allowing for 48 climbers in the space of 1 hour, when running at its peak capacity.
What are the age ranges?
Minimum age for climbing the wall is 5 years. A child has usually reached sufficient height and body weight to enable them to physically climb. Mentally, their hand/eye coordination is also mature enough to navigate the wall. There is no maximum age, so long as one is physically fit enough to undertake climbing. Climbing is a strenuous activity, and should not be attempted if one is pregnant, has a weak heart, knees, back or neck injuries or any condition not suited to climbing.
