A system is shown for providing a course layout to simulate rock climbing comprising metal tracking and hand and foot holds, with means for securing the holds to the tracking. The tracking may be arranged in various directions and orientations and may be secured to both walls and ceilings. Three different types of holds are disclosed: the sliding plate hold, the hinge hold and the jam hold. Each is designed to provide a means for grasping, supporting or gaining leverage by a climber as he proceeds along the course layout. Further, each type of hold has means for attaching an artificial rock outcropping which additionally simulates conditions encountered in rock climbing. Thus, the invention helps to create certain physical characteristics of rock formations that one may encouter while rock climbing.
