climbing wall

Estepona is currently finalising the construction of the largest climbing wall in Spain. The city council emphasises that this infrastructure will be a national benchmark in terms of both characteristics and dimensions. The climbing wall is located in the Parque Ferial y Deportivo de Estepona.

“It will be a unique space. Up until now, there has not been a climbing wall in Spain that covers the three categories of speed, difficulty and bouldering. This will allow us to organise competitions and practice all forms of climbing”, Francisco Jiménez, one of the members of the local climbing associations, told the newspaper Diario SUR.

The total area is 662 square metres. The division is as follows: speed zone (115 square metres), difficulty zone (363 square metres) and bouldering zone (184 square metres).

The climbing wall uses extremely precise 3D modelling and a solid structure made of 130,000 kilos of steel with a luminous coating. There is also a covered area and the wall can also be used at night, thanks to the lighting system. The investment for the climbing wall is around 1.6 million euros.
