Red Square
Climbing is all about problem-solving and the solution is not immediately clear with this challenge. All the hold 'fronts' are the same and it is only by careful inspection that the various routes to the top are revealed (by the colour behind the holds).You'll need plenty of stamina while identifying the orientation of the holds and you'll discover that this challenge is not as simple as it looks…

Skyscraper
This popular stunning bright and coloured element is an excellent first climb for younger climbers who can go straight up the middle as if they were climbing a ladder. Challenging for fit and flexible adults who can work their way to the top via the most difficult route, using the under-cling handholds.

Speed Climb
Hugely popular, this speed challenge provides for 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, with the Timer being used to decide who climbed fastest, so that you can try to beat your own PB (personal best). LED lighting in corner moulds reinforces the fast-moving action. Place your feet quickly, to provide the drive and energy to climb the fastest way you can!

Tree Trunk
Everyone love climbing trees… but a square tree trunk? Unusual for sure! This is a beautiful recycled tree, laminated and moisture cured to maintain its good looks. Just one thrilling way to 'top out' on this classic challenge that we all grew up on. The perfect occasion to show off to your family or your mates!
