Cutting Edge Rock Wall Technology
The Lake Nona Performance Club is one of the first climbing centers in North America featuring the new, Walltech by Eldorado Climbing Systems. This is a wood-based climbing system with a glass bead texture. Yes, glass bead. This texture is not only durable but allows great contact while smearing for those high-end climbers but is subtle enough to minimize abrasion for the newer climbers encountering the wall for the first time.

The benefits of ROX goes well beyond the immense size and incredible technology. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we have experienced extreme difficulties with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and stress taking a toll on many in our society.
