In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: I was skiing last week and there was a traverse board on the side of the cable car station for public to have a go on, similar climbing as an incidental activity, quite odd but cool
In reply to grizz: Yes Entre-Prises built one for a swimming pool in Copenhagen. It was 6.5m high above pool level and I reckon good splash downs could be had!

There was one in Namsos, Norway for years, but they took it down as a number of people were injured. The chances of it happening in danger-aversion Britain? I think not.
Also in Helsinki, although it aimed at kids in the swimming pool not anyone interested in real climbing.
