Frequently Asked Questions:

For which disabilities is Adaptive Wall best suited?

The Adaptive Wall is suited for children with physical, sensory, communicative and cognitive disabilities.

Has the Adaptive Wall been evaluated for success?

The Adaptive Traverse Wall received "very good" and "good" ratings after an independent AblePlay™ evaluation by the National Lekotek Center, a not-for-profit organization that uses interactive play experiences, and the learning that results, to promote the inclusion of children with special needs into family and community life. The disabilities that were represented during the evaluation included Autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, Developmental Delays, Down Syndrome & Speech and Language Delays.

What is the wall made of?

The Climbing Wall is constructed of 3/4" plywood and are coated with a smooth, white, dry-erase/magnet-accepting surface.

How do the hand holds attach to the wall?

Hand holds are mounted to the traverse wall through t-nuts and held in place with bolts. They are mounted and removed with the use of an included Allen wrench. Since our t-nuts are of premium quality and our bolts of standardized length, removing and moving hand holds is simple and fast.

How many hand holds are included with a traverse wall?

Each 4' x 8' panel comes with 20 Groperz Hand Holds and 6 Adaptive Hand/Foot holds (4 grab-bar hand holds, 1 blue ledge foot hold and 1 red ledge foot hold). The 66 t-nuts on each panel offers a variety of options for placing the hand/food holds.

Can we take the climbing wall down and move it?

Yes, walls may be removed from existing sites and reinstalled in alternate sites. New mounting hardware will be required for installation.

What activities can we do with the wall?

An Adaptive Climbing Wall Activity Guide is included with your Adaptive Climbing Wall and helps instructors include children with cognitive, communicative, physical and sensory disabilities participate in a climbing wall program. Examples of activities include climbing wall games, language and math activities.

What is the added liability or insurance need?

Product Liability Insurance backs all Everlast Climbing™ products. It is also recommended that you consult with your insurance carrier to see if they require any additional insurance. With traverse walls, additional coverage is not typically required since the climber’s feet are not more than 3½’ off the floor and safety mats provide 6’ of fall zone protection.

What do we need for safety surfacing?

Mats are an important safety component of your climbing wall. Everlast Climbing offers safety mats in two thicknesses: 2” and 3". Mats are constructed of polyethylene foam enclosed in an 18-oz. polyester reinforced vinyl cover. They come in 4’ x 6’ sections and are available in Royal Blue, Red and 14 custom colors (for an additional cost).

How can we prevent unauthorized climbing?

Our patented Mat-Locking® System closes and locks your climbing wall when you want to restrict access. The system is cordless and really easy to use. Simply hang mats onto the climbing wall by hanging the webbing loops onto specially-designed hand holds. Push up the red security latch and lock with a few turns of the security bold. The mats Velcro® to one another and attach to the base of the climbing wall with nylon tabs. A "No Climbing" decal is printed on the outer side of the mats to serve as notice that the climbing wall is closed.

Are we limited to a traverse wall that is either 20' or 40' long?

No. We can build a traverse wall any desired length. Our website provides pricing and information for those two lengths, but we often build climbing walls with other lengths. Contact us and we will be happy to provide you with pricing and more details.
