CLIMBING WALL PRODUCT TYPES:			PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
		Textured Plywood Climbing Wall: engineered and built using a timber or steel frame. This is the most cost efficient - and most favoured for commercial operations. Generally best suited for indoor use. A variety of finished texture options are available. See Projects Page for more examples.
		Free-Standing Towers: Pinnacles and towers are aesthetically beautiful structures and can offer climbing on multiple facets, as well as rappelling and rescue ledges - if so desired. The climate may warrant a roof, and access to a rappel ledge from the inside can also be a consideration. We have built these using timber and steel, but a composite panel system (left, and below) can also be provided.
		Traverse Wall, or Bouldering Wall: these walls are low enough that no ropes are required and pads protect spills and falls. These walls can be made from a variety of materials. This traverse wall is at the Mount Pearl YMCA in St. John's, Newfoundland. It was built using local materials (timber and plywood). These pads also fold up to close off the wall, and a locking mat system with signage prevent unauthorized usage.
		Composite (Panel or Moulded) System: great for showpiece locations and outdoor use. The panels are made of quality composite materials, and are resistant to rain, frost, snow, wind, and UV rays. The Citywall 3-D Composite Panel System pictured here can be designed specifically to meet customers' needs. Quick to install and extremely durable - even when used outdoors.
		Shell Concrete Boulder engineered by HPCW. Our most rock-like offering. Shell Concrete products look exactly like real rock, but can be sculpted to suit your specific needs.
		Playground and Park Equipment: We offer the full line of: Citywall playground products, shell concrete custom-made boulders, as well as climbing walls - of course!

MATS AND FLOORING:
		Bouldering/ Traverse Wall Mats: These are custom measured and made. The only mats on the market worth landing on. Pads can be ordered/ installed to fold-up and cover the wall. Lock-able. "STOP - NO CLIMBING" type signs available - if requested.
		Multi-Layer Shock-Absorbing Gym Floor : Dual-density foam flooring with gymnastic quality surface - functional, durable, and aesthetic. Easy to clean and replace sections. Ask us for a quote.
HOLDS AND EQUIPMENT:
		Climbing gyms require climbing equipment like ropes, harnesses, carabiners, rock shoes, chalk bags, etc. We have managed to source what we believe are the best products on the market for your facility. If desired, we choose holds on the market that are made close to where you have your facility, and we choose only the ones you will need. We can fill an order to suit your specific requirements without you having to spend precious time deciding from a selection of thousands of holds on the market. Earth tones available.
