Wow………if you lose grip of the wall on the side that curves over, you are an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder.
Then, that might just be me, I am not that good at climbing.

And it’s only 10euros for a day pass! Cheap, at least by American urban-area indoor gym standards.

In Switzerland we have a 160 meter climbing wall… this is just a tiny wall compare to it… just tell the truth!

Its 37m tall right? So do you climb it single pitch with an 80m rope (if so make sure to a knot at the other end) or are there belay stations mid way?

In Yosemite there is a 3000 foot vertical climbing wall. And it’s actually made of rock. And it’s free.

That is very impressive but not the worlds tallest. This is. http://www.commrow.com/BaseCamp.asp

They are clear when they say “free standing climbing wall”… made by man. On Yosemite it is a natural mountain. In Reno is almost 50 m. (not 160, that is feet) but attached to a building. So, they are right in saying “The tallest free standing climbing wall in the world”…

Correction:
I just learned that actually the tallest free standing climbing wall (almost 43 m), since Dec. 2011, is called “Historic Banning Mills”, located in Whitesburg, GA.
