Articulated matting was fitted with the wall. This restricts access to the facility when un-supervised – provides a smooth rebound surface - provides an element of support to climbers who may have been lowered too quickly       15/12/2006 Sandown High School Entre-Prises climbing walls have recently completed an exciting new 12-metre high freestanding climbing wall at Sandown High School on the Isle of White.
