Fun for some.
The exterior of the CopenHill building was already eye-catching enough, featuring a facade made up of glass and stacked aluminum bricks. Tasked with creating the relatively narrow column that would be used as the 1,200-square-meter (12,916-sq-ft) climbing surface, international outfit Walltopia had to maintain this unique pattern of blocks and openings, while integrating the necessary structures for a climbing wall.
With a height of 80 m (262 ft), the climbing wall was divided into four pitches, or sections that climbers complete before stopping for a break. These offer climbers differing degrees of difficulty, with the easiest section at the bottom and things becoming harder the higher they go. Sloped edges situated every 20 m (65 ft), meanwhile, offer them a chance to catch their breath.
“It was inspired by natural multi-pitch routes – they usually use naturally formed ledges for pitch endings,” explains Walltopia’s Vasil Sharlanov, member of the design team.
