Embodiment Construction

[0014]FIG. 1 illustrates a front view of a climbing structure 100 having a climbing surface 102 and multiple climbing holds 104. The multiple climbing holds 104 have various shapes and sizes and are secured to the climbing surface 102 at different locations in order to customize the climbing route and the climbing difficulty. Each of the multiple climbing holds 104 is typically secured to the climbing surface 102 with a single fastener or bolt 106.

[0015]FIG. 2 illustrates a cross-sectional view of the climbing structure 100 of FIG. 1 including a climbing hold 104 that is mounted to the climbing surface 102 of the climbing structure 100 with a bolt 106. The climbing structure 100 includes a threaded insert 108 that receives the bolt 106.

[0016] The threaded insert 108 can be attached to the climbing structure 100 by various methods known in the art. Alternatively, threads can be formed directly in the climbing surface 102 of the climbing structure 100.

[0017] The climbing hold 104 i...

Abstract

A climbing structure having a climbing surface with a removable climbing hold is described. The climbing structure includes an insert. The climbing hold includes a recess that is offset a distance from an opening in the climbing hold. The recess in the climbing hold is shaped to receive the insert. The climbing surface includes an opening that is aligned with the opening in the climbing hold. A threaded member that is inserted through the opening in the climbing hold and into the opening in the climbing surface secures the climbing hold to the climbing surface and causes the insert to engage the recess in the climbing hold.

Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION [0001] The popularity of rock climbing has created a market for artificial climbing walls. Many artificial climbing walls include surfaces that have irregular shapes to simulate natural rock formations. These artificial climbing walls can also include climbing holds that a climber can grab with his hands or stand on with his feet. The climbing holds allow the climber to ascend, descend, or traverse the climbing wall. The climbing holds are generally detachable and can be re-positioned in different locations on the climbing surface to customize the climbing surface for different climbing experiences. The climbing holds are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to further modify the climbing surface. [0002] A metal bolt is generally used to mount the climbing hold to the climbing surface. The metal bolt passes through a shouldered-hole in the climbing hold and is threaded into a threaded insert that is secured to the climbing wall. The combination of the m...
