The Mural Climbing Wall brings extra enthusiasm and motivation to the climbing experience. Climb in the mountains surrounded by trees, wildflowers, animals and insects. Or climb into the ocean with turtles, fish and whales. Our ready-to-install murals were created by a professional illustrator and bring the beauty and wonder of nature into your facility. Another option is a customized climbing wall. We can create a Mural Climbing Wall with custom artwork provided by you. This allows children to climb over mascots, logos, photographs or artwork. Your customized climbing wall could match your facility’s décor, show school spirit, honor donors or make a bold statement. Each Mural Climbing Wall includes color-coordinated Groperz® Hand Holds to complement the design of the mural and to offer a variety of options for climbers to use as they travel across the wall. Hand holds come in a variety of shapes, sizes and difficulty levels. The visual possibilities are endless on the Mural Climbing Wall and we are eager to work with you to create a climbing experience beyond your imagination.
Each 4′ x 8′ Mural Climbing Wall panel is pre-printed and includes 20 Groperz® Hand Holds and 20 preset placement options for mounting hand holds.
The Ocean, Jungle and Space Mural Walls can be ordered up to 20 feet long. The Mountain Mural Wall can be ordered up to 40 feet long. The Custom Mural Wall has no limit to its length.
Safety mats and a way to “close” the Mural Climbing Wall to prevent unauthorized use are recommended. View our Mat-Locking® System.

FAQs
What is the best type of wall for installing a climbing wall?
If your climbing wall is going to be installed on a concrete/CMU wall, you are good to go. If your wall is made of drywall - either metal or wood studs - the installation process will include building out a sub wall for the climbing wall panels to be installed on. If you have a metal stud wall, it should be at least 6" 18-gauge steel studs, 16" o.c. For full details on the drywall installation process, please reach out to us at info@everlastclimbing.com.
Where should hand holds be installed if I am installing the climbing wall myself?
The fun thing about our climbing walls is there are so many pre-set T-nuts in the panels that you can place the holds pretty much anywhere you want.
If your wall includes a Red-Relief Line®, install that first. Recommended heights are:
WeeKidz® Walls: 2.5 feet above the safety mats
8' Traverse Walls®: 3 feet above the safety mats
10' Traverse Walls®: 3.5 feet above the safety matsKeep any foot holds below the Red-Relief Line® if applicable.
At the beginning and end of the wall, place holds so climbers can easily climb off instead of jumping down. You can position holds in whatever direction you feel is best, but keep in mind there is generally an easier and harder way to position each hold.
Once all holds are placed, try climbing the routes yourself to check the difficulty. You can always add or move holds to adjust the route.
For more on installing holds and route-setting, check out this past educational climbing blog.
What kinds of activities can be done on a climbing wall?
There are a lot of different types of activities that can take place on a climbing wall including individual, partner, competitive and cooperative activities. Activities help develop physical, social-emotional and cognitive skills. Varying how your climbers use the climbing wall by offering a variety of activities helps maintain interest in the climbing wall over time. Every climbing wall purchase includes a copy of our comprehensive Climbing the Walls Activity Guide that includes important information and 65 detailed lesson plans to help get you started. You can visit our Climbing Wall Activities page to see examples of activities you can download.
How do I fund my climbing wall?
We know that budgets are limited and we try to help with funding in several ways. We offer a free funding guide, one for every state, that includes grants and other funding ideas to help you raise needed funds. We offer an annual Boost Grant Program where we award $1,000 - $5,000 towards a climbing wall project. We also offer a discount for Demo Sites. Visit our funding support web page to learn more.
Shipping and Install
Shipping
Your climbing wall will ship to the delivery address you specify via truck. We cannot deliver to PO Boxes.
You will need to meet the truck, break down the crate, and carry each piece of the climbing wall inside. This can take as little as 25 minutes with a group of 4 – 6 people. Lift gate is not available on any orders. If unloading is not an option for you, Inside Delivery is available. Please contact your salesperson to add this to your order.
Please inspect all pallets and boxes before signing for the delivery. If there is any damage, you MUST note the damage on the delivery receipt BEFORE you sign it, or a damage claim cannot be filed with the trucking company. This is very important – please notify your receiving personnel and the person who usually signs for deliveries of this fact. Call us if there is any apparent damage and we will work with you to resolve the problem. Do not throw away any damaged material.
Please protect your shipment until the installation takes place. Any damage occurring after receipt is your responsibility.
Installation
Everlast Climbing offers climbing wall installation. Installation can also be completed by maintenance staff or anyone familiar with construction and building.
