One wall of the dam currently features the world's highest artificial climbing wall. A German manufacturer of climbing holds installed a line of over 650 artificial holds and bolts. The course covers a vertical distance of 165 meters, going from the base of the dam to the top. The climb must be done as a sport climb, in multiple pitches. Furthermore, the lowest holds were placed several meters above the ground to deter casual visitors from climbing on them.

That dam wall is epic! That must have been some job drilling and bolting the entire route. Love the ladder start haha

So then, how far do you think we would get up Spelga Dam wall before the fun police would turn up?
