Mobile Climbing Wall Features and Information
Altitude’s Mobile Rock Climbing Tower features the latest auot-belay technology and safety equipment in order to offer climbers the ultimate in safety and enjoyment, while our professional rock climbers help guide and teach.
Automatic belay system:
In recreational sport climbing there are generally two people involved in a climb - the climber, and the person whom is providing the safety for the climber, who is known as the belayer. The belayer traditionally secures a climber using two hands and a braking device to control the descent of the climber. The biggest fear for many climbers is that a belayer could lose control of the climbing rope, endangering the climber, such mistakes have happened to even the most experienced of climbers.
Because Altitude uses "auto-belays" the human element is removed from the belaying process, thus eliminating the possibility of human error.
Altitude’s Portable Cimbing Wall has a pressurized air/oil hydraulic control system that automatically controls the rate of descent when a climber falls or chooses to come down from the Climbing Wall. The automated belaying system takes up the slack in the climbing cable as the person climbs and therefore eliminates the need to rely upon a human belayer for every climber.
Not convinced? Our Mobile Rock Climbing Wall has been manufactured with two hydraulic cylinders for every climber. This means that we have a redundant system, or back up, which ensures that if one hydraulic cylinder fails, the second system will take up the slack and function in a safe manner.
Advantages of our system
• Our Auto belay system is a hydraulic unit that needs no power to operate.
• Our system has specially designed "flow" controls built in so even if a hydraulic hose was cut or destroyed the participant will still be safe.
• Our system uses "double Pistons" in tandem so in the unusual event that one breaks you still have one back up unit.
