Climbing wall assemblies

The present disclosure is directed to climbing wall assemblies having a variety of improvements. For instance, the climbing wall assemblies may include connectors to attach the surface panels to the framework, in which the connectors may be mounted substantially anywhere along the front of the framework and at substantially any angle, providing for the securement of climbing panels in various geometries. The climbing wall assemblies may also include braces that may easily be adjusted to a desired length and configuration during construction of a climbing wall. The climbing wall assemblies may also include variable-angle, integral front posts, which provide for the easy and stable securement of climbing panels in various geometries. These improvements provide climbing wall assemblies that may be easily assembled to produce a desirable climbing wall structure having few framework components.

Adjustable difficulty rock hold
11524218 · 2022-12-13 · ·

An adjustable rock hold having a rotatable outer portion configured to rotate about an axis of the adjustable rock hold and rotate with respect to a climbing surface, wherein the adjustable rock hold is configured to be attached to the climbing surface; a plurality of gripping surfaces positioned around an outer edge of the rotatable outer portion; and one or more securing elements configured to secure the rotatable outer portion with respect to the climbing surface.

Climbing action structures

A climbing action structure includes a support structure having a plurality of columns configured to be fixed relative to an underlying surface and support at least one header of a plurality of headers above the underlying surface. A climbing action space is defined between the columns, the headers, and the underlying surface that is devoid of intruding structure. The headers define a plurality of action element mounts, each defining a longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the underlying surface. At least one action element is removably coupled to the support structure at a respective action element mount. The action element includes a top end having a header connection member. The header connection member being coupled to the respective action element mount and adjustably positionable along the longitudinal axis, and the action element is disposed within the climbing action space and a participant has 360° access to the action element therein.

CLIMBING WALL WITH INPUT BASED CLIMBER FEEDBACK OUTPUTS AND SYSTEM FOR DELIVERING CLIMBING PATHS TO MULTIPLE CLIMBERS ON DIFFERENT WALLS SIMULTANEOUSLY
20220362633 · 2022-11-17 ·

A rock climbing wall includes a support wall and a plurality of rock climbing holds attached to the support wall. The rock climbing wall also includes a sensing apparatus that determines that a climber traversing the rock climbing wall has contacted a first one of the plurality of rock climbing holds. In addition, the rock climbing wall includes a control device that, upon receipt of a signal from the sensing apparatus indicative of the climber contacting the first one of the plurality of rock climbing holds, causes at least a second one of the plurality of rock climbing holds to be indicated as an additional hold to be contacted as the climber traverses a climbing route along the wall.

Multi-purpose adjustable-incline climbing wall

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to an adjustable-incline climbing wall. The climbing wall includes one or more climbing panels supported by a frame and a system for adjusting the incline of the frame to provide a climbing wall of a desired incline. The incline of the climbing wall may be adjusted by activating an actuator, which extends the frame a distance from a support wall, tilting the climbing wall to a desired incline. Further, by providing a plurality of attachment points between the actuator and the frame (and/or between the actuator and a support), the adjustable-incline climbing wall may be provided with a wider range of incline angles, as well as increased control over those angles.

Fast-rope training apparatus

A training apparatus for fast-rope training includes a platform-supporting structure having one or more containers and at least one platform configured for use in fast-rope training. At least one attachment is provided for attaching a fast-rope. The platform-supporting structure is supportable by a surface. The at least one attachment is located higher than the platform and spaced laterally from the platform-supporting structure such that the at least one attachment overhangs the surface so a fast rope can hang from the at least one attachment, past the platform and toward the surface.

Adjustable Force Sensor System
20220347540 · 2022-11-03 ·

An adjustable climbing wall system enabling the arrangement of a force sensor with an attached climbing hold in various positions attached to a frame or wall. The system comprises a subframe element that is configured to a couple with a force plate. The subframe element is configured to be adjustable from a first position to a second position. The force plate is configured to couple with a climbing hold and the force sensor is configured to output a signal indicative of the forces applied to the climbing hold.
