The fun of fundamentals make children play again and again: the Hill Climber invites and supports grappelling 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 gross 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.

Quality that lasts
Corocord ropes with 19mm diameter or more are special 'Hercules' - type with galvanised six-stranded steel wires. Each strand is tightly wrapped with PES yarn, which is melted onto each indivudual strand. The ropes are highly wear-and vandalism-resistant and can be replaced at site if needed.
The metal parts are made of high quality steel, hot dip galvanised inside and outside with leadfree zinc. On the outside, there is an additional layer of powder coating. This ensures both excellent corrosion resistance and colourful design expression.
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.
Hill climber ropes are ideal embankment play products, usable on slopes of 20-60° and available in various lengths.
