Down Climb Rings allow the climber to get down off the wall easily.  It is especially important to include these on a children's wall to ensure that your young climber can safely and comfortably descend the wall. Below is an example of how to layout a staggered down climb route.

Below you will find several different examples of holds that we have laid out on different sizes of walls. These are meant to be a guide for you as an initial setup. Every wall should be climbed on and adjusted as necessary for the intended audience.
