Title:
ULTRA-LIGHT ROCK-CLIMBING WALL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003006111
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An ultra-light rock-climbing wall comprising a pliable climbing-wall matrix (10) upon which rock/gymnastic-climbing holds (20) are mounted at variable spacings. A pliable climbing-wall matrix is defined to be sufficiently thin and supple to be folded or rolled up for storage. Examples include fabric, mesh, netting, and thin, supple solid sheets or meshes. Various climbing-wall structures are taught-all of which incorporate pliable climbing-wall matrices. The term "rock climbing" refers to climbing via variable, position able climbing holds on steep or overhanging climbing surfaces or matrices--as is practiced on rock-climbing cliffs and gyms. An additional feature is "safety surfaces (15)" which are located beneath and rise with climbing surfaces-to prevent falling injury and eliminate the need for safety ropes. The preferred embodiment features a mesh climbing matrix and a net safety surface both of which are stretched from ground anchors over centrally positioned support poles.
