If you’ve got an unused outside wall, then why not put it to good use by installing traverse walls.
Outdoor traverse walls for schools have become increasingly popular globally and especially within the UK. This is essentially due to the benefits that climbing offers combined with the low risk involved. Climbing teaches good body movement and sharpens sequential problem-solving skills whilst promoting the development and use of good judgement.
The construction of bouldering and climbing walls should meet the requirements of the standards EN 12572:1 and 2. Schools considering installing climbing walls will find the guidance offered in the British Mountaineering Council (BMC) Climbing Wall Manual useful.
