Military Climbing walls

EP Climbing's military climbing walls aim to replicate authentic operational training environments.

Are you looking to add some variety to your military training facilities? Climbing can be both mentally and physically stimulating, increasing overall fitness and coordination, as well as improving skills like communication, teamwork, and problem-solving.

Why should the military and fire departments invest in EP Climbing wall?

WE BUILD MILITARY CLIMBING WALLS

We’ve manufactured climbing walls for the following armed services:

  • Royal Navy
  • Royal Marines
  • Army
  • Royal Air Force

From indoor bouldering and roped climbing walls, to towers which replicate natural rock or building facades, we will work with you to design, produce, and install a custom climbing wall for your military base. You choose the style you’d like, and we’ll take it from there.

We can even match the colours of your military climbing wall to your unit – and add an emblem or crest to boost your team’s sense of morale and belonging.

WE’VE SPONSORED MILITARY CLIMBING COMPETITIONS FOR 20 YEARS!

Aside from manufacturing military climbing walls, EP Climbing has proudly sponsored military climbing competitions since 2003. We’re honoured to support to our armed services with their annual bouldering and lead competition seasons, providing prizes and even judging certain rounds.

WHAT TYPE OF CLIMBING WALL WOULD BE RIGHT FOR MY MILITARY BASE?

We can build climbing walls and climbing towers which are designed to imitate natural rock, complete with ledges and cracks, and even buildings. Or if you prefer to go down the traditional route, we can also create bespoke bouldering and roped climbing walls for your military unit.

ROPED CLIMBING WALLS FOR ARMED FORCES

ROPED CLIMBING WALLS FOR ARMED FORCES

Roped climbing walls allow your team to climb as high as possible with the safety of a rope, enabling them to push their physical abilities and improve confidence, whilst also gaining ropework skills. The use of ropes likewise makes challenges accessible to all, with climbing difficulty varying from beginner to more complex depending on the needs of your group.

Requiring a minimum height of 6-10 metres, roped walls can be installed either outdoors or indoors. Indoor walls are typically constructed at one end of a multi-sports hall, using very little floor space which allows for other training activities to take place when not in use.

Roped walls may be used for either top rope or leading, with the added option of being equipped with TRUBLUE auto belays – to enable climbers to ascend without the need for a partner.

MILITARY BOULDERING WALLS

Bouldering combines balance, strength, and technique to complete a short but challenging sequence of moves, known as ‘problems’. A sociable form of climbing, bouldering is great for group sessions – perfect for boosting team morale and improving communication. As with roped climbing, the difficulty of your military bouldering wall can be adapted based on the capabilities of your team.

At around 4 metres high, bouldering walls are an ideal solution for spaces without a great deal of height. No ropes or harnesses are used in bouldering and as such, thick safety matting is required at the foot of the wall.

REAL ROCK SIMULATION WALLS FOR THE MILITARY

REAL ROCK SIMULATION WALLS FOR THE MILITARY

Perfect training for the field, climbing walls that replicate natural rocks provide a more authentic and adventurous feel to climbing on an artificial wall. Complete with features such as ledges and cracks, climbers can learn and practise placing traditional climbing protection. Like roped walls, rock simulation walls can be climbed either with ropes or TRUBLUE auto belays.

Made from resin, walls that replicate real rock are built to withstand the weather.
