How many of us have looked at cooling towers and thought what excellent climbing walls they would make? That´s exactly what the owners of a hi-tec business park near Seattle in the State of Washington are looking into. The business park is on the site of an unfinished, and never used nuclear power plant. The cooling tower that may one day become a climbing wall is fifty stories high, slabby on the outside, but steep on the inside. The company has thoughts of holding competitions on the site, and is interested in hearing feedback from climbers as to what we think about the idea.
