Freestanding three-dimensional climbing wall

Abstract

A freestanding three-dimensional climbing wall includes a foundation partially disposed above ground and a frame mounted to the foundation and extending above ground. Planer surfaces are disposed on the frame and have multiple planer surfaces at different orientations relative to each other. Climbing holds are disposed on at least two of the planer surfaces.
