Climbing

Climbing for schools, clubs and therapy

Bouldering and climbing are not only hugely popular leisure activities in clubs – they’re also on the rise in school sports and physiotherapy. Targeted training on the climbing wall has proven particularly effective in treating back pain, as climbing strengthens all key muscle groups and especially the back muscles. At the same time, climbing promotes important psychological and social skills. Alongside coordination and balance, courage and awareness are essential. Pupils learn to overcome challenging situations and build self-confidence. In a rope team, they develop mutual trust and a strong sense of responsibility.

Bouldering – safe climbing without a rope

Bouldering is a discipline of sport climbing and originally developed on boulders and rock blocks. The key advantage: the maximum foothold height on the wall is around 2 m, allowing safe, rope-free climbing across the wall. This makes bouldering the perfect introduction to the world of climbing. Basic techniques can be practised and refined without fear. Bouldering is also becoming increasingly popular as an alternative strength and coordination workout in school sports, rehabilitation and therapy.

At Sport-Thieme you’ll find a wide range of climbing equipment. Choose from combinable climbing wall modules, complete climbing walls or artificial climbing rocks. Modules are a flexible solution and are ideal for smaller spaces. For schools, fixed climbing walls with pre-set climbing and bouldering routes are particularly suitable. For every climbing wall, you can order climbing holds in various difficulty levels.

Climbing equipment and accessories: safety first
