ICP is thrilled to announce its arrival into the North American climbing scene with a focus on modern climbing gym design and innovative products to help inspire creative route setting.
ICP originated in Australia nearly 15 years ago as a company with a primary focus on route setting and holds. Over time, the company naturally evolved into the distribution of climbing walls, through partnerships with several major manufacturers, before making the leap into the complete design, fabrication and installation of climbing walls, volumes, and matting. “Over the years we learnt that having control from end-to-end was vital if you want to obtain creative license and develop incredible products. So this has been our focus, to create incredible climbing experiences and push boundaries within the industry.” said Rob Parer, CEO of ICP.
ICP is not just another climbing gym manufacturer; it is setting a new standard in climbing facility design and functionality. ICP has just introduced its revolutionary “RAPS” system, which seamlessly integrates climbing wall angles with volume faces, unlocking endless possibilities for climbers, setters and gym owners alike.
What is ICP Raps?
ICP Walls + ICP Volumes = ICP Raps. This is more than just a volume on a wall. This novel approach to design blends climbing wall and volume faces seamlessly together, creating extended planes. Being able to alter ICP Walls within a climbing gym in such an intentional way will provide new shapes and fresh geometry for route setters and patrons. With new ICP Volume shapes released regularly – the ICP Raps system is changing the game for route setting and wall design.
Matching by Color: Identifying corresponding wall and volume angles from a color grading system is where the magic happens. Wall arěte’s and volume faces with matching angles are defined by unique, matching angle colors. This means setters will know instantly which volumes they can use to expand a particular plane of the wall, removing the guesswork. Now gyms can be set optimally, allowing the walls to be refreshed time and time again.
Stacks of Creativity: ICP Raps empowers setters to craft expansive features, easier than ever before! Every ICP Volume is designed with the ICP Raps system angles, and each set of ICP Volumes is designed to stack on itself.
ICP Offers a Range of Climbing Wall Products:
- Boulder Walls: Built from the highest quality materials, engineered to out-perform, look great and offer versatility for setting.
- Rope Walls: Top Rope, Lead Walls, Speed Walls & more. ICP builds a range of rope wall options.
- Volumes: Designed to enhance route setters’ creativity. Ranging from low profile to bold stacks.
- ICP’s Special Carpet Top Matting: Safety is at the heart of everything ICP does, and their carpet top matting provides a soft and secure landing, reducing the risk of injury while looking great and keeping clean.
When asked about the vision for ICP in America, Parer had this to say: “We believe with the right tools, sport can change a person’s life. We are strong believers in pushing the sport of climbing forward, as a community and we feel American climbers want this too. That’s why we intend to deliver unique climbing gym solutions that foster a sense of community, adventure, and innovation for new climbing gyms across the United States. We believe that our innovations will not only benefit climbers but also help climbing gym owners in creating more engaging and dynamic environments. We didn’t just want to be another wall supplier doing good walls. We wanted to empower creativity and build great walls. I believe our new ICP Raps system is a great first step in that direction.”
