The fun of fundamentals make children play again and again: the Hill Climber invites and supports rappelling 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 are developed walking up 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 trains abilities like judging distances – important in street traffic.

Key Features
Corocord ropes with 19mm diameter or more are special 'Hercules' - type with galvanized six-stranded steel wires. Each strand is tightly wrapped with PES yarn, which is melted onto each individual strand. The ropes are highly wear-and vandalism-resistant and can be replaced at site if needed.
The steel support posts are hot dip galvanized inside and outside with lead free zinc. The galvanization 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.
Through the KOMPAN Variant Team, you can choose between additional 7 rope colors and customize your solution. The assortment is a wide span of colors ranking from elegant and expressive black or a natural, neutral hemp color, to a range of attractive and eye-catching signal colors.
Hill climber ropes are ideal embankment play products, usable on slopes of 20-60° and available in various lengths.
