New climbing walls for Argoed High School
The Beacon have just completed construction of some new climbing walls at Argoed High School near Mold. The walls comprise a 9m high roped wall, a 7m long slabby traverse wall and a mammoth 30m vertical traverse.
As is often the case in multi-use sports halls there is a potential conflict with other users so the Beacon are installing hinged foam mats. These mats provide protection against falling whilst bouldering and can then be flipped up when the wall is not in use to provide protection against students running into the wall and also a deterrent against unauthorised use.
