Is your climbing wall seeing less participation and climber engagement?
Is the appearance of your wall diminishing the aesthetics of your facility?

With our service, we accentuate the best parts of your existing climbing wall structure and change any elements that are no longer working for you.  The result is a wall that is even more beautiful and durable than ever.

Seven signs your climbing wall needs refurbishing:

  1. Abrasion from quick draws
  2. Extreme wear around handholds
  3. Discoloration due to sunlight
  4. Texture wear from rope drag at the tips of roof
  5. Exposed metal reinforcements
  6. Surface cracks from building settling
  7. Operational “abuse” from regular maintenance activities

Our climbing wall refurbishing service transformed the Boulder Rock Club.  Check out the before and after:
