Traverse Rock Climbing Wall

I would like to tell you about the newest addition to our physical education program. The Sibley PTO purchased a traverse climbing wall for all of our students to use in physical education class. The climbing wall is eight feet high and is forty feet long. Students climb horizontally (traverse) across the wall and their feet should never be higher than three feet off the ground.


Indoor rock climbing is one of the fastest growing activities today. It develops coordination, strength, flexibility and cardiovascular fitness. Additionally, important life skills of problem solving, goal setting, and perseverance will be learned.

This is an exciting educational opportunity for the students at Sibley. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
