Aquatic Feature Manufacturer Introduces Clear 3-D Climbing Panels:

Adds Contours and Re-configurability to Enhance Poolside Climbing Experience

Frederick, MD March 26, 2013– Pyramide USA Inc., the designer and manufacturer of AquaClimb poolside climbing walls, announces the new 3-D Krystal Ice panel. This unique development transforms an otherwise flat polycarbonate sheet into a contoured three dimensional climbing surface and increases functionality, because the panels can be flipped over and rotated in any direction to completely re-configure the climbing wall.

Part of the challenge and fun of rock climbing is the search for random hand and foot holds. This requires the climber to utilize problem solving skills as well as physical effort. AquaClimb Krystal was introduced in 2012 due to a demand for a clear pool climbing wall, but the flat panel’s limited options for users and aquatic managers. The first 3-D Krystal Ice panel prototypes, produced in Hanover, PA on March 15, 2013 and is now ready for production.

The major benefits of the new panels are the more realistic activity for climbers, while providing facility owners the ability to rearrange and rotate panels and climbing holds to create a new experience for returning patrons.  Bob Aker the Assistant Director of the JCC, Milwaukee who currently has the Ascent 3-D fiberglass panels on his wall said “We rotated the panels and the whole wall will have a new feel this summer.  We may be doing this each year from now on.”  This ability assists the facility owners in keeping the water feature fresh and interesting.  According to Pyramide’s CEO, Russell Moy “The 3-D surface makes a big difference. It greatly enhances the climbing experience and provides a truer climbing event.”

The contoured polycarbonate panel was achieved through AquaClimb teaming with a industry leading plastics manufacturer, molding experts and civil engineers.  According to Mr. Moy, “There is no challenge that ingenuity, drive and teamwork cannot overcome.” Customer input was also a key factor in the development of this product.  “Customers appreciated the clear panels but also wanted the shapes and re-configurability of our fiberglass Ascent and Canyon models.” Mr. Moy stated.  For more information regarding poolside climbing walls and other beneficial aquatic topics visit the AquaClimb blog by clicking here.
