A climbing wall is an artificially constructed wall with grips for hands and feet, usually used for indoor climbing, but sometimes located outdoors. Some are brick or wooden constructions, but on most modern walls, the material most often used is a thick multiplex board with holes drilled into it. Recently, manufactured steel and aluminium have also been used. The wall may have places to attach belay ropes, but may also be used to practice lead climbing or bouldering.
Each hole contains a specially formed t-nut to allow modular climbing holds to be screwed onto the wall. With manufactured steel or aluminium walls, an engineered industrial fastener is used to secure climbing holds. The face of the multiplex board climbing surface is covered with textured products including concrete and paint or polyurethane loaded with sand. In addition to the textured surface and hand holds, the wall may contain surface structures such as indentions (incuts) and protrusions (bulges), or take the form of an overhang, underhang or crack.
Some grips are formed to mimic the conditions of outdoor rock, including some that are oversized and can have other grips bolted onto them.
Most days i am found operating aerial platforms , there is an every present risk of falling from the platform . I am prevented from falling by the use of a harness and lanyard which is clipped via a karabiner to a designated anchor point on the platform . Here is a close up picture of one my karabiners.

A couple of months ago I was doing one of my periodic wanderings through the Hamilton, Ontario downtown area to see what I could find. As part of the ongoing renewal process underway in downtown Hamilton, I came across a demolition site on Hughson Street. The building had been demolished and the rubble largely cleared out. One worker was up in a scissors lift, tethered via a harness to the platform of the lift and was working on some residual materials. The bright yellow reflective safety vest in the dappled late afternoon light caught my eye. - JW
