World's Tallest Climbing Wall
Considered to be the tallest climbing wall in the world, the Excalibur at the Klimcentrum Bjoeks (Bjoeks Climb Center) in the town of Groningen, The Netherlands is over 121 feet in the air (37 meters) and with an overhang of 36 feet (11 meters). Because of the curved, falling-over design, some routes are easier to crawl on than others, giving everyone from novice climbers to experienced ones a worthy challenge that's up to their level.

Built in 2004, the freestanding attraction was said to be built to give local enthusiasts a place to practice their climbing skills, since the entire country is "flat as a pancake." Aside from the gargantuan tower, the Bjoeks facility also includes a full indoor hall (with 50 ropes on 20-foot routes), numerous freestanding outdoor boulders and a steep bouldering cave.
