This state-of-the-art feature trumps your traditional climbing frame.
And meeting the challenge were pupils at Fixby Junior School who became the first in the UK to enjoy this changeable climbing feature supplied by Rokt Climbing Gym, Brighouse.
The all-weather feature was installed at the Huddersfield school last week thanks to a £10,000 grant from the Lottery Awards for All scheme.
The facility, made from recycled plastic, can be re-configured to make it easier or more difficult to climb.
It was designed and built by Rokt Climbing Gym, at Sugden’s Old Flour Mill, Mill Royd Street, which opened in 2011.
Rokt has also installed a similar feature at a leisure centre in Slovenia and will install another at an activities centre in Edinburgh next week.
The company has offered to help other local schools obtain funding for their own climbing feature.
Rokt business development manager, Louise Mortimer, said: “It’s an expensive structure but if schools can get the funding it’s possible to get one, and we can help them do that.
“It’s such a good thing for school playgrounds; it’s something very different.
“The kids absolutely love it but it’s also suitable for adults.
“It’s fully changeable so when the kids get bored of it you can change it around.”
