We've received a grant to build a climbing wall in our middle school. We need a bit more help to get it past the school board. Do you know of any school in ky that has a climbing wall over 30 feet (not universities)?

Not to rain on your parade, but a bouldering wall seems feasible, but a 30 footer might not ever pass liability hurdles. Good luck.

It passes insurance just fine. There are several school walls in tenn, but I need to know if there's one in ky.

Not sure if its 30 ft...but seams close

josi, mayber contact some of the walll builders and see if they have built in Ky....eldo wall fort example.

Don't know how to help ya exactly, but yeah 30'+ climbing walls are standard gymnasium fare in Colorado and a few other States. I would also recommend going with a wall builder like Kipp mentioned if you have grant support, Radwall is good too.

a health/safety issue with the school board like injuries or financial approval? cause football seems a template to justify both-

i'd also think a state education bureaucrat would have state wide contact information?

Collegiate (a private school grades k-12) in Louisville has a wall built by Rocksport. Not sure on the height but it seems like it may be what you are looking for.

There is a school in versailles, Northside Elementary...I think. It has a bouldering wall in the gym. Not a 30 footer but you might be able to contact them for more information. Hope this helps.

ask andrew gearing. He used to weld for that gym in Louisville
