Rock Wall climbing is by no means a new sport. Enthusiasts and athletes alike have taken to the walls for many years. Wall climbers take part in this extreme sport for the sheer thrill, excitement, athletic challenge and sense of accomplishment. Until recently, the element of risk and possible personal injury has deterred many "would be" rock wall climbers from attempting this potentially dangerous pursuit. But no more!
The simulated walls operated by Houston Climbing Walls are totally safe. These walls are constructed from heavy metal framing and a smooth fiberglass outer covering. While manufactured to rigid safety standards, the walls are designed to simulate the experience and challenge of the real thing... to as high a degree as possible. In fact, the same type of walls are used by many clubs and trainers to teach beginners the fundamentals of natural rock wall climbing.
