Top Rope / Lead Walls
A fantastic option for beginners in the world of climbing, or experienced climbers looking to finesse more challenging moves.
Top rope climbing is more secure and the most commonly used for indoor climbing centres. Climbers are supported by a rope, either by a second belayer or by using at TRUBLUE automatic belay.
Knowing there is someone holding the rope gives the climber the chance to get more comfortable with the fall and to take a rest break in their harness if needed.
Lead climbing is a more advanced style, where climbers clip in for safety and set the rope at each stage as they ascend. For advanced climbers, lead walls are recommended for assessments and are a great way to progress.

Speed Walls
Speed walls are 15 metres high and an excellent discipline for competition. It’s also quite exciting for spectators!
We build speed walls from Entre Prises climbing – the IFSC official speed walls manufacturers.

Bouldering Walls
Each time you climb you need to solve a route or ‘problem’ by performing a sequence of moves. Great for all skill levels and ages, you can boulder alone or as part of a group.
With fewer building height constraints, bouldering walls are becoming increasingly popular as they can be installed in a wider range of spaces than many climbing walls. They require minimal staffing, which is a bonus for centres when considering running costs and are a wonderful fitness alternative.

Traverse Walls
Climbers don’t use ropes or harnesses, with a safety surface in place below. You’re never more than a few feet off the floor as you traverse and it’s a great way to discover bouldering.
We recommend traverse walls for schools, young children and both outdoor and indoor surfaces. Like standard bouldering walls, traverse walls can be installed almost anywhere.

Competition Walls
Lead, Speed and Bouldering walls can all be used in competitive climbing if they meet the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) requirements.
If you wish to run climbing competitions from your centre, it is important that you consider IFSC requirements before installing walls.
Some things to consider:
- Lead climbing walls need to be a minimum of 13 metres to a maximum of 16 metres high.
- Bouldering walls a height of 4.5 metres, maximum of 5 metres
- Speed walls there are two possible heights, either 10 or 15 metres and clear ceiling height is needed to place the top anchors, either 11.7 or 16.7 metres.
