Mobile Climbing Walls are a fun activity to hire for indoor and outdoor events catered for families, children, workplace fun and more! No matter what type of event you are hosting, a Mobile Climbing Wall adds an adventurous touch that appeals to all ages. In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about mobile climbing walls, including how they work, their benefits, and why they are a must-have for any event.
What is a Mobile Climbing Wall?
The Mobile Climbing Wall is a replica of a climbing wall you would find at a dedicated climbing centre, complete with holds and a belay-based harness system, also commonly referred to as “clip and climb”.
An added bonus of this climbing wall is that it is fully mobile and can be transported almost anywhere, as it is fixed onto a trailer and towed nationwide. The Mobile Climbing Wall can even fit through a set of standard double doors for indoor use!
How Does a Mobile Climbing Wall Work?
Mobile Climbing Walls are mounted to a trailer, which is towed by a van, allowing them to be set up at different locations with ease. The setup process typically includes:
Securing and putting the Mobile Climbing Wall up on a stable surface, making adjustments if needed.
Doing a full safety check and making sure the belay systems are in place, as well as checking harnesses are suitable for use.
Once these have been completed, the wall is ready for use! When you hire a Mobile Climbing Wall from Odin Events, you will also receive a fully trained member of staff to manage the wall and help participants during your event. The wall must be supervised at all times.
Benefits of Mobile Climbing Wall
Climbing centres can be hard to come by depending on location, making them inaccessible for some. The Mobile Climbing Wall can be brought to virtually any location, no matter if it’s a city centre or a countryside venue, making it a flexible option for events.
Climbing is a great sport that improves balance, strength and coordination. It also encourages problem-solving skills and boosts confidence, as climbers challenge themselves to reach the top.
It may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of team-building activities, but a Mobile Climbing Wall ticks all the boxes! They encourage collaboration, communication, and mutual support from participants, making it a unique team-building activity.
