A climbing feature device for installation in or on a climbing surface comprises a plurality of faces having different climbing features thereon, the climbing device being operable, when installed, to present different selectable ones of its faces at a climbing surface. The device may comprise a rotary hexagonal drum having different climbing features on at least some of its six surfaces, which may be presented at the climbing surface as required. On the hexagonal drum, one face could be blank in order to provide no climbing feature at that particular location on the climbing wall if required, with different climbing features on the other surfaces. It is advantageous if the device is designed so that each climbing feature, when presented, is extremely rigidly fixed so that there is no danger to the climber. Further as regards safety, the device is preferably designed to be failsafe, so that it is maintained in a rigidly fixed position should the device fail. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a climbing feature device for installation in or on a climbing surface, comprising a plurality of faces having different climbing features thereon, the climbing feature device being operable, when installed, to present different selectable ones of its faces at a climbing surface.
According to a further aspect of the invention there is provided a climbing surface in or on which is installed a plurality of such devices.
Preferably, a climbing surface, for example a wall, fitted with a plurality of devices according to the invention may be changed simply by operating some or all of the climbing feature devices installed thereon, without it being necessary manually to remove and interchange items such as the aforementioned panel discs or bolt-on holds.
A climbing feature device according to the present invention may comprise a rotary body having different climbing features provided thereon, the body being rotatable in order to present a different climbing feature at the climbing surface as required.
For example, the rotary body may be a drum or wheel rotatable about its axis to present different climbing features as aforesaid.
One example of such a drum could be a hexagonal drum having different climbing features on at least some of its six surfaces, which may be presented at the climbing surface as required.
On the rotary body, one face could be blank in order to provide no climbing feature at that particular location on the climbing wall if required, with different climbing features on the other surfaces.
A climbing feature device according to the present invention could be rendered even more versatile by being provided with a plurality of interchangeable rotary bodies, in order to provide even more different climbing features.
For example, a plurality of interchangeable hexagons could be provided.
It is advantageous if the device is designed so that each climbing feature, when presented, is extremely rigidly fixed so that there is no danger to the climber
