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.

Climbing gyms can accommodate a varied audience, from beginner or very young climbers to climbing professionals:

  • A children's zone will attract whole families. Isolating the children's zone will make it safer.
  • Think of dedicated areas like a classroom or instructional area to organize climbing lessons for a wide audience.
  • Walls with a variety of profiles will attract more climbers of all types - beginners and experts.

Organise events:

  • Reception, rest, and viewing areas
  • Internal or local competitions to entertain your members.
  • Depending on your available space, we can provide walls to host national or international level competitions (IFSC certified).

Process

A process that has been running successfully for over 35 years. From the very beginning of your project to the final outcome, EP is with you every step of the way.

Proposal

Proposal

Our sales team works with you and our designers to identify the most appropriate solutions from the wide range of products we offer. We
review programming wants/needs, space availability, risk assessment, budget guidelines and provide a consultative approach as we work through your facility offerings.

Analysis

Analysis

Our internal design department first produces a simple massing for approval. This is for general layout purposes and ties in to how your facility is being used, traffic flow, safety considerations and more. Once this is approved, custom climbing walls go into a much more detailed design process on what the wall will look like from a front facing and climber prospective along with aesthetic paint colors.

Engineering

Engineering

After an analysis and design have been approved we move into the drafting and engineering process. EP USA complies and exceeds all recommendations from our Climbing Wall Industry Standard Practices. We certify all of our projects with stamped engineered drawings in accordance with your state guidelines. These stamps are provided by a third party to ensure the highest quality is met.

Production

Production

Our production facility is right here under the same roof as our design, drafting and project management teams. This means the highest quality control possible, as your project manager is hands on from design to production and through the organized shipment to your site.

Installation

Installation

We take charge of all logistical aspects, from supplying parts to the full installation of your project by our local assembly team. Our project managers are in constant communication with our teams on site. Our lead installers will walk you through any questions as well while we work through the installation as well as getting sign-off approvals from you as we complete zones or do a final walk through.
