USPs

To improve the climbing experience, challenges are created to stimulate several senses simultaneously. Visual impact is coupled with tactility – incorporating soft, rough, cold, plastic and even Velcro features to create a unique climbing experience. The challenges include several flagship models: “The Stairway to Heaven”, featuring a spiral climb, the “Twister which offers participants a 3D climbing experience, and the “Vertical Drop Slide” which gives climbers a free fall sensation. Outdoor facility owners can also benefit from Clip ‘n Climb’s concepts with six outdoor challenges now available.
