Top Rock Challenges
Take on all 19 of our climbing walls, each of which provides a new and exciting challenge. Check out each of them right here:
Big Cheese
A crisp and colourful-looking climb, which enables smaller climbers to steadily weave their way t…o the top, swopping and matching of hands and feet.
Caving Ladder
This climb imitates the challenge a caver faces in a steep vertical cave section. A wobbling narr…ow cable ladder will give you the feeling of ‘being out there’… with no solid wall in front of you.
Checkerplate
Bright colourful LED lights reflect brilliantly off the metallic checkerplate surface to create a…nother visually stimulating Challenge with handhold options: palming, undercling and pinch.
Cloud 9
A visually whimsical interpretation of a scattering of clouds… Ascend through the clouds via one …of the three routes indicated by the colour of the holds.
Cornered
A panel of fruit-like orange and lime green round holds with two twists: you have to climb up the… corner, AND it lights up! Enjoy the different light sequences that follow you to the top and brighten your day.
Detonator
All of the iconic Astroball’s fun in a version that requires less ground space! Make your way thr…ough the 3D spheres and grab the little holds and the big handles to get to the top!
Face to Face
Race your mate to the top of this very popular element. This stimulating and highly original clim…bing Challenge uses commercial gauge clear acrylic.
Hexed
The honeycomb created by these unique hexagonal shaped holds make a visually stimulating Challeng…e, offering many different routes to the top, with coloured holds determining the degree of difficulty…
Jungle Gym
This satisfying commando-style Challenge requires strong arms and determination… it’s a tough phy…sical challenge that has proven to be a natural draw card for climbers of all ages. There is a choice of two different routes up to the cargo net and then climbers face the task of grappling their way to the finish.
Lightning Crack
A beautiful climbing wall in the form of a lightning bolt. Climbing the ‘crack’ is a unique chall…enge for climbers as it requires good body positioning to maintain balance.
Skyscraper
This stunning bright and coloured element is an excellent first climb for younger climbers who ca…n go straight up the middle as if they were climbing a ladder. It’s also a Challenge for fit and flexible adults who can work their way to the top via the most difficult route, using the under-cling handholds.
Spaghetti Junction
An exciting and physical Challenge with short trailing ropes and organic foothold shapes. A great… workout on a climb that requires both balance and strength!
Speed Climb
This speed Challenge caters to the naturally competitive instincts within us all. Usually set-up …in pairs to race your mate to the top, it can also be installed as a single element. LED lighting in corner moulds reinforces the fast-moving action.
Stairway to Heaven
Stay calm and well balanced on this signature element that is always busy. No hands required – cl…imbers are challenged instead to walk their way to the top, using steady balance and careful footwork to avoid the drop.
Triffid
A super interesting organic-looking wall, with the tactile excitement of the triffid shapes. Enjo…y a real ‘Jack and the beanstalk’ moment on this most challenging element.
Twister
An absolutely stunning and powerful visual attraction. Twister is not only a centre piece; it is …a great climbing challenge, where you can peep round the corners at the other climber.
