Tips for designing a successful, well rounded climbing gym:

Flexibility and versatility take priority when designing a climbing gym. Creative layouts with varied wall terrain provide endless options to keep your community interested and engaged.

Mix it up! Incorporating various wall profiles in your gym layout (slab, vertical, overhang, etc.) provides endless options for route setters to keep the walls creative and diversified for all skill levels.
Training area: design your gym with a campus board, system board, spray wall and hangboard areas in mind.
Non climbing areas are just as important. Creating space for events, parties or group fitness classes, provides another outlet for connection and community building. Don’t overlook areas like: front desk, staff areas, waiver kiosks, storage space, walkways, lounge areas and clear fall zones.
Childrens zones: create a space that is family friendly and approachable for beginners and young children. Creating a space for children to play, promotes overall gym safety by keeping young children out of the age restricted bouldering and climbing areas.
Dedicated area for classroom instruction and lessons.
Design your space with events and gym comps in mind. Reception and viewing areas are great for internal or local climbing competitions. Depending on available space, EP can provide IFSC certified walls to host national or international level competitions.

Walls with a variety of profiles will attract more climbers of all types - beginners and experts.
