Our Gym Rock texture really sets us apart. The texture itself is a two-part application of a cement-like product attached both mechanically and chemically creating the most durable climbing wall surface on the market. This texture is specifically engineered for our climbing walls, and is designed to be quite flexible while appearing and feeling very rigid. Despite our ‘beefed-up’ building practices, all walls experience some degree of settling. Our texture can actually move with the structure, eliminating structural cracking and chipping that is common as a result of flex.

During the application of the second coat, the texture is stamped with micro-features molded from actual rock, and closely resembles flat granite. It is thicker than most surface textures, allowing us to round out edges for a more natural looking seamless construction. The surface looks great, and climbs even better. It is perfect for edging and smearing, can be molded into holds in tricky placement areas, like the outside edges of arêtes and the inside corners of dihedrals, and provides positive, realistic feeling for jamming in cracks.

While feeling like natural rock, our Gym Rock coating is still flat enough to use volumes everywhere on the wall which is not common with cement style climbing walls.  Gym Rock walls allow the flexible route setting of a plywood wall with the enhanced durability of a cement wall.
