A pre-arranged spot outside to set up the Rock Wall – normally on an area of grass.
What You Need To Know About Renting A Rock Wall for Your Carnival:
A portable Rock Wall is one of the latest carnival attractions available in recent years for school carnivals. Most portable Rock Walls allow several climbers to climb at one time. Each climber has a safety harness that slowly lowers the climber to the ground if they slip or when they reach the top of the Rock Wall. When calling around, be sure to verify that the company you are evaluating has current business insurance - ask for the phone number to the insurance company to verify. Also, check references and make sure the company has been reliable for others!
It is a good idea to set a “restart” limit or time limit for each climber. Talk to the Rock Wall Staff for their expertise and suggestions. For example, each climber has 3 tries to reach the top, but on the 4th slip, the climber must get back in line and allow another climber their turn.
Because these rented Rock Walls can be fairly pricy, it is a good idea to have a few different carnival sponsors pay for this booth – allowing your school to collect all of the profits. We have seen schools charge up to $5 for each climber to take part in this carnival activity.
