Discovery® Dry-Erase Climbing Wall by Everlast Climbing

Innovative cross-curricular teaching and learning options are limitless on this dry-erase and magnet-accepting climbing wall for schools and other youth-serving organizations.

Wall surface type: Smooth and Cross-Curricular

The Discovery^® Dry-Erase Climbing Wall is the perfect climbing wall for schools! The write-on, wipe-off surface also accepts magnets. Use dry-erase markers and magnets to combine math, language and other learning with movement.

The color-coded Groperz^® Hand Holds offer a variety of options for climbers to use as they travel across the Traverse Wall^®. Green hand holds are the largest and easiest to grip. The yellow holds come in a variety of sizes and offer a light challenge. The red holds are medium sized and provide the most challenge. Climbers can choose to use any color hand hold, or try the extra challenge of climbing using only hand holds of the same color. The signature Red-Relief Line^® is a safety feature that reminds climbers to stay within three feet of the floor and is a helpful tool for the climbing wall supervisor.

Each 4′ x 8′ Discovery^® Dry-Erase Climbing Wall section includes sentence building, word and math magnets, 20 patented Groperz Route-Setting Hand Holds, 66 preset placement options, the Red-Relief Line and dry-erase markers. Available in 8′-high and 10′-high versions, as panels and holds only or as a package with 2" or 3" safety mats.

Safety mats and a way to “close” the climbing wall to prevent unauthorized climbing are recommended. The Discovery^® Dry-Erase Climbing Wall is protected by one or more U.S. Patents.

Specification

Note: Traverse climbing walls are available in any length. Since panels are 4′ wide, lengths in multiples of 4 are recommended, but any desired length can be accommodated.

FAQs

What is the wall made of?

The Discovery Wall is made of 3/4" plywood coated with a write-on, wipe-off surface.

How do the hand holds attach to the wall?

Groperz Hand Holds are mounted to the traverse wall through t-nuts and held in place with bolts. They are mounted and removed with the use of an included Allen wrench. Since the t-nuts are of premium quality and the bolts are a standardized length, removing and moving hand holds is simple and fast.

How many hand holds are included with a traverse wall?

There are 20 Groperz Hand Holds per 8' x 4' panel.

Can we take the wall down and move it?

Yes, walls may be removed from existing sites and reinstalled in alternate sites. New mounting hardware will be required for installation.

What activities can we do with the wall?

A Climbing the Walls™ activity guide is available for purchase. It contains a rich variety of fun, challenging and age-appropriate climbing wall activities for use on your wall.

What is the added liability or insurance need?

Product Liability Insurance backs all Everlast Climbing products. It is also recommended that you consult with your insurance carrier to see if they require any additional insurance. With traverse walls, additional coverage is not typically required since the climber’s feet are not more than 3½’ off the floor and safety mats provide 6’ of fall zone protection.

What do we need for safety surfacing?

Mats are an important safety component of your climbing wall. Everlast Climbing offers safety mats in two thicknesses: 2” and 3". Mats are constructed of polyethylene foam enclosed in an 18-oz. polyester reinforced vinyl cover. They come in 4’ x 6’ sections and are available in Royal Blue, Red and 14 custom colors (for an additional cost).

How can we prevent unauthorized climbing?

The patented Mat-Locking® System closes and locks your climbing wall when you want to restrict access. The system is cordless and easy to use: hang the mats onto the climbing wall by the webbing loops on specially designed hand holds, push up the red security latch and lock it with a few turns of the security bolt. The mats Velcro® to one another and attach to the base of the climbing wall with nylon tabs. A "No Climbing" decal on the outer side of the mats shows the climbing wall is closed.

Are we limited to a traverse wall that is either 20' or 40' long?

No. Traverse walls can be built in any desired length. Contact us for pricing and details on other lengths.
