Combining art and sport into one amazing piece of architecture, Excaliber is quite probably the tallest rock climbing wall in the world. It stands at a towering 121 feet and resembles a streamer spiraling up into the air. If you love to climb on man made features, be sure to schedule your trip to Holland soon!
Wall Details:
- Height: 37 meters (121 feet)
- Location: Groningen, Holland
- Facility Name: Klimcentrum Bjoeks
The climb to the top
It’s a bit lonely up in the Stratosphere…
The snow-capped foot of Excalibur
Climbers heading for a sunset summit
One last look at that twist, sure wouldn’t want to be on top in the event of an earthquake…
If you want to find out more and you speak Dutch, you can head on over to Bjoeks site here. They even have an international trip planning page on there somewhere.

You, Joe Vallone, are a self-righteous ball bag.
Keep up the good work unofficial. Don’t let small dick dweebs like “ProVallone” mess with your stride.
