EQUIPMEN
Gear for the life of the wall
A single source for shoes to t-nuts

spend time creating a fantastic climbing experience than
negotiating and ordering climbing wall equipment from
dozens of vendors. Eldorado helps make that more than
wishful thinking. Through eldowalls.com and our customer
service team, clients beneit from:
• Special client pricing.
• A single customer portal that has all the products you
need to launch your wall and to keep it geared-up and
looking good throughout its life.
• Access to leading manufacturers like C.A.M.P, Petzl,
Evolv, Sterling, Asana, and more.
• A long-term source for ideas and support as your
climbing program grows and evolves.

TRUBLUE™ Auto Belays

Increase participation and fun while driving down costs and risk
The TRUBLUE is designed and engineered to be the most advanced, lexible, and
dependable auto belay available.

Auto belays beneit all levels of climbers, from the novice getting a feel for the movement
to the elite climber focusing on conditioning and training – and they’re proven to increase
membership and participation for all types of facilities while lowering costs. The TRUBLUE
Auto Belay is the only auto belay designed speciically for climbers, and it’s perfect for
climbing gyms, ropes courses, zip line tours, and more. With the TRUBLUE it’s possible to
descend from platforms, introduce participants to free fall rides, teach your clients to rappel—
your imagination is the limit.

The TRUBLUE uses a self-regulating, magnetic braking system that accommodates the
widest range of user weights of all auto belay systems. This makes it ideal for use by both
children and adults in all types of situations.
• Braking resistance adjusts automatically to the weight of the climber, always providing a
smooth descent
• No wearing or sacriicial wear parts – which means low maintenance and low cost of
ownership
• Engineered to eliminate the need for a clutch bearing, removing a possible point of
failure found in other auto belay designs
• A webbing feed system that maximizes the life of the webbing

PROTEC® Flooring System

ProTec is a dual-density looring system designed to be aesthetic, easy to maintain and
highly durable. Climbing wall operators prefer ProTec because it is soft enough to reduce the
impact of a falling climber but irm enough to support ladders and wheelchairs for eicient
routesetting and accessibility.
• 5½” dual density impact distribution system
• Open and closed cell foam under a carpet-bonded top layer
• Captures chalk dust to keep air & merchandise clean
• Easily maintained by vacuuming
• Wear-resistant Cordura edging with “no proile” seam treatment
• Available in Red, Blue, Black, Purple or Gray
• Self install or professional installation available
Eldo Holds

Whether you are new to rock climbing or a seasoned pro, igur-
ing out which holds to buy should be easy and understandable.

• Shop online
• Tap into a real, live person for customer service
• Take advantage of recommended sets based on program
needs and wall type

• Compare sizes easily. All holds are photographed on a

Eldorado’s Project Management Team is the best in the busi-
ness. Your project will be done on-time, within budget, and be a
quality product.
• After approving the install schedule and the installation
mobilization date, our team mobilizes to begin building.
For new build projects, we typically arrive on site once the
building is dried-in and heated just prior to installation of
inishes.
• Phases of construction vary depending on projects but
most follow a similar process where our BombProof™ fram-
ing system is erected, then the surface layer or “substrate”
is applied, followed by texture or seaming depending on
the wall system. Finally, the paint details are applied to
bring this world class rock wall to life.
• Timelines for project completion will vary depending on
each project’s scope of work, complexity of design, and
products selected. Many simple projects take a matter of
a few weeks, while more complex ones may take several
months.

Everyone should climb.
This is our mantra.

Eldorado folks truly believe that climbing, whether indoors or outside, is

good for the mind, body, and soul. We have all witnessed the beneits of
climbing irsthand and want to provide the chance for as many people as
possible to experience the transformational nature of climbing. We work
every day to provide opportunities for others to share this by:
• Ofering climbing walls that can it into most budgets.
• Introducing the Climbing Slab™, our durable, beautiful, DIY modular
panel that is only $199.
• Seeking projects that get people climbing who would otherwise
not have access due to geography, socio-economic limitations, or a
general lack of access to a climbing culture.
• Ofering the TRUBLUE™ Auto Belay so people can climb and train
without a partner using the safest auto belay available.
• Supporting organizations like Paradox Sports, a nonproit that provides
opportunities for adaptive climbing and a curriculum to teach how to
create inclusive climbing communities.

Climbing, not just climbing walls, is at our core.

Everyone should climb.
