About Wall Climbing in Whister

Wall Climbers must have very good strength in their hands, forearms, shoulders and back. Without this strength it will be very hard to pull the weight of your body higher and higher. Special equipment and shoes are needed for balance and grip. Just like you wouldn't skate with out proper skate shoes.

Wall Climbers need a wall to climb to begin with. A climbing wall is an artificially constructed wall with grips for hands and feet, used for climbing.

Each hole contains a specially formed t-nut to allow modular climbing holds to be screwed on to the wall. With manufactured steel or aluminum walls, an engineered industrial fastener is used to secure climbing holds. The face of the multiplex board climbing surface is covered with textured products including concrete and paint or polyurethane loaded with sand.

In addition to the textured surface and hand holds, the wall may contain surface structures such as indentions (in cuts) and protrusions (bulges), or take the form of an overhang, under hang or crack.

Some grips are formed to mimic the conditions of outdoor rock, including some that are oversized and can have other grips bolted onto them.
