Abstract: A climbing wall structure comprising of a primary frame and a plurality of wall panels is described. Each wall panel has a periphery adapted for abutment with an adjacent wall panel. Each wall panel is connected to adjacent panels with a mounting bracket, such that the wall panels form an integral exterior surface adapted for climbing. The primary frame and the wall panels are connected with kicker struts. Each kicker strut has a first end and a second end. The first end is mounted to a non-peripheral region of the wall panel. This differs from the prior art walls which connect kicker struts to angle iron or tube steel surrounding the periphery of a wall panel. Prior art walls are thus heavier, use more material, and not easily disassembled. In the present invention webbing is also used for positioning. A method for installing an artificial climbing wall structure is also described.

Abstract: A wall-climbing accessory adapted for mounting onto a wall structure is described. The wall-climbing accessory comprises a resilient body that is flexible. The resilient body comprises an exterior surface and an edge. The exterior surface is configured to provide an engagement point capable of supporting a climber of the wall structure, whereby a climber may scale a wall structure by using the wall-climbing accessory. The edge is configured to substantially engage the wall structure such that, when affixed, the resilient body and edge impart a torsion force to the wall structure such that a flexible, friction fit is formed between the wall-climbing accessory and the wall structure. The wall-climbing accessory use only one primary fastener to attach to the wall structure and thus is less prone to rotation than prior art climbing holds. Furthermore, the resilient body is flexible and lighter when compared to prior art climbing holds.
