Traditionally setting up a climbing wall would have been a very expensive business proposition. You would have needed to find a suitable commercial premises with sufficient height clearance.

Then you would need to persuade people to travel to your venue.

Well how about this for an alternative, a mobile climbing wall that you can rent out to people for events or parties.

Alternatively you could attend fetes and festivals and charge individual climbers a fee to climb on your wall. There are a number of options open to you.

The main things you are going to need are of course the wall itself. I came across this Mobile climbing wall which is priced at just under €10,000. It seems to be a fairly good entry level mobile climbing wall. Or this company make a larger mobile climbing wall.

The other important thing you will need is public liability insurance, but this should be straightforward to arrange.

If you are the adventurous outdoor type who likes to meet other people then this could be a good business opportunity for you.
