         2 . The device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the tarpaulin is fitted with attachment means that serve to receive the climbing handholds.  
     
     
         3 . The device according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least parts of the tarpaulin are attached to at least one reinforcement means.  
     
     
         4 . The device according to  claim 3 , characterized in that the reinforcement means is configured so as to be flat.  
     
     
         5 . The device according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the reinforcement means is essentially in the form of strips.  
     
     
         6 . The device according to  claim 5 , characterized in that the reinforcement means comprises at least one strip of webbing.  
     
     
         7 . The device according to  claim 5  and/or  claim 6 , characterized in that it comprises several reinforcement means, whereby at least some of said reinforcement means are aligned parallel to each other.  
     
     
         8 . The device according to one or more of claims  3  through  7 , characterized in that at least one reinforcement means is located in at least one edge area of the tarpaulin.  
     
     
         9 . The device according to one or more of claims  3  through  8 , characterized in that at least some of the attachment means for the climbing handholds are in contact with the reinforcement means.  
     
     
         10 . The device according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that the tarpaulin contains a polyester compound, at least in some areas.  
     
     
         11 . The device according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that the tarpaulin contains a polyvinyl chloride compound, at least in some areas.  
     
     
         12 . The device according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that the tarpaulin contains a polyethylene compound, at least in some areas.  
     
     
         13 . The device according to one or more of claims  1  through  12 , characterized in that it contains at least one hanging means.  
     
     
         14 . The device according to  claim 13 , characterized in that the hanging means comprises at least one eyelet.  
     
     
         15 . The device according to one or more of claims  1  through  14 , characterized in that the climbing handholds are affixed to both main surfaces of the tarpaulin.  
     
     
         16 . The device according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that a liquid, especially water, flows over it, at least in one place.  
     
     
         17 . The device according to  claim 16 , characterized in that the liquid can flow over the main surface area.  
     
     
         18 . A process for the production of a climbable device, characterized in that a module is produced, whereby a tarpaulin is fitted with attachment means for handholds and/or fitted with handholds and in that the module is hung on a hanging means.  
     
     
         19 . The process according to  claim 18 , characterized in that the tarpaulin is provided with at least one reinforcement means.  
     
     
         20 . The process according to  claim 19 , characterized in that the reinforcement means and/or the climbing handholds are affixed in the area of the reinforcement material.  
     
     
         21 . The process according to  claim 20 , characterized in that webbing is provided as the reinforcement means and in that the attachment means and/or climbing handholds are connected to the webbing.  
     
     
         22 . The process according to one or more of claims  18  through  21 , characterized in that the module hangs down from the holding means.  
     
     
         23 . The process according to one or more of claims  18  through  22 , characterized in that the module is hung on at least two sides that are essentially opposite from each other.
