Rock climbing at Ramstein's Outdoor Recreation Center
RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany --
A break from school, Ramstein's summer camp students enjoyed the rock wall at the Outdoor Recreation Center on Ramstein Air Base, Germany, July 12, 2012.
The Outdoor Recreation's $28 million facility offers something for climbers of all abilities. It's textured composite-material rock wall stands taller than 30 feet on some routes.
For beginners, there is ropeless small bouldering, buffered with big yellow gymnast mats for a comfortable landing. Experienced climbers can own the inverted tower that looks like a huge, rugged, caution traffic cone. The climbing route possibilities are endless.
To climb the wall at Ramstein, individuals are required to take a 45-minute "Climbing 101" to learn the basics of fitting a harness, tying knots and belaying.
