Gnarly :o)



Not sure that I would want to climb this, at 121 feet, that is the equivalent of a twelve story building.  And give one look at the thing and you have to be a little bit impressed by its massive presence. It's called the Excalibur and it's located at the Klimcentrum Bjoeks in Groningen, Netherlands.  In such a flat country (highest elevation 1,056 feet), it is even more startling. Instead of just building straight up, they've given it some pitch and a 36-foot overhang. The dual-sided design provides routes for beginners and experts alike.

  5. Good grief, do people actually climb that? My fear of heights makes it hard for me to even look at it, much less contemplate climbing it.
