Hill climber rope
Physical
trains balance, muscle strength and cross coordination, which stimulates cross-modal perception.
Social-Emotional
children cooperate when rappelling together.
The Hill Climber invites and supports grappling up steep hills. The wonderful combination of stemming the feet onto the hill, holding tight to the rope and leaning back walking upwards is a repeatedly thrilling experience. Apart from being great fun, the combination of movement also provides great motor and muscle training. Hands, arms and upper body get trained when gripping the perfectly sized rope, legs get trained walking upwards, and core muscles are put to work when leaning back, tensioning the core. The motor skill training is intense: the spatial awareness, the sense of balance and the coordination come to full use. This stimulates the overall motor confidence of the child and helps train the ability to e.g. judge distances; important in street traffic.

Play Value
Play value is the value gained from play, the value that makes the child 'want' or developmentally 'need' to undertake the activity and thus gives the play item holding power. Play value can be described very precisely in developmental terms, looking into the human physical, cognitive, social and emotional developmental stages.

Quality that lasts
Corocord ropes with 19mm+ diameter are known as a 'Hercules' rope type which is formed from galvanised six-stranded steel wires. Each strand is tightly wrapped with PES yarn, which is melted onto each individual strand. Ropes are highly wear-and vandalism-resistant and can be easily replaced on-site if needed.
The steel surfaces are hot-dip galvanised inside and outside with lead-free zinc. The galvanisation has excellent corrosion resistance in outside environments and requires low maintenance.
Corocord aluminium clamps are used as connectors between steel posts and rope. Two aluminium castings are bolted together. The height of the clamps is thus variable.
You can choose between seven rope colours to create a customised solution for your playscape. Colours options range from elegant and expressive black or natural and toned-down hemp colour to attractive and eye-catching signal colours.
Hill climber ropes are fun and space-saving embankment play solutions which are usable on slopes of 20-60° and available in various lengths.
