The Excalibur Climbing Wall is the World's Tallest
Meghan Young — October 26, 2010 — Lifestyle
I don't know about you, but the Excalibur climbing wall seems a little too extreme for me. I might enjoy a difficult climb here or there, but this just seems like tempting death. The dizzying height offered is definitely for those skilled enough to handle and enjoy it.
Part of the Bjoeks Climb Center in Groningen, The Netherlands, the Excalibur climbing wall is 121 feet tall. The fact that it curves to offer an overhang of 36 feet makes me look away in fear. Honestly, the image actually induces fear in me, so I commend all who are able to tackle this wall.
