TrainR

We've created an environment where kids learn climbing. the concept of TrainR is to take a really exciting climb and lay it on its side. No ropes. No supervision. The TrainR climbing system is designed for low traverses that provide all the challenges and thrills of bouldering. But because the climbers are just a couple of feet off the ground, there is much less risk. the many varied routes provide opportunities for success for climbers of all abilities. By selecting which part of the TrainR and which holds to use, climbers can discover routes as easy or as difficult as they want.

TrainR CONFIGURATIONS
TrainR is a modular system with five different components. These can be arranged to fit almost any space or budget. Here are some of the most popular configurations.

TrainR BEND
The Bend is a curved section with a top that gently slopes from 9' to just over 4'. the convex side is designed to teach climbers to hug the surface and reach for stabilizing holds. the concave side teaches an out-reach position requiring strength and balance to move from hold to hold. this is a great section for learning one's center of gravity. The Bend is used as the end of several systems of as a stand-alone unit.

TrainR ARM BUILDER
The Arm Builder is an accessory to the Wall and replicates the "hang boards" every serious climber uses to develop upper arm and grip strength. It's similar to a chinning bar but instead of a traditional pipe, it has grips that are both difficult and easy. If kids use it only a few minutes a day they will quickly build strength.

TrainR WALL
the Wall section is the basic building block for the TrainR system. this is where new climbers start out and learn the basics. Instead of just a flat surface, it has gently curved faces providing a multitude of different climbing challenges as skill and confidence increase. Where space allows, the Wall should be a part of every TrainR installation.

TrainR CHIMNEY
The Chimney section is like the inside of a tall tube with one side cut away. This allows a climber to "stem" by applying force to opposing walls to climb up and down. On the outside of the Chimney there is a wide flat wall that has a unique set of holds that are particularly challenging.

TrainR OVERHANG
This is the most challenging of the TrainR components. the underside teaches climbers how to climb upside down while keeping their hands and feet on the holds. This activity will very quickly create awareness of the climber's strength-to-weight ratio. Like the Bend, the Overhang is used as an easy exit on the end of a system.
