攀岩墙

Our state-of-the-art indoor climbing wall and traverse wall add an athletic and adventurous component to each user’s workout. Rock climbing is an incredible sport for all individuals that calls upon the mind and body to work in harmony. This sport also builds a combination of flexibility, 强度, 平衡, and endurance to ascend a rock face through a sequence of planned moves.

The 26’ high x 12’ wide climbing wall is equipped with three routes and has 75 holds that can be changed to vary routes and meet all climbing levels. The 11’ wide 19’ high transverse wall does not require a rope or harness and allows new users to become familiar with climbing in a safe environment while allowing experienced climbers to challenge themselves and work on perfecting skills.
