New Boulder Structure at Bronx Rock (DE)

'Der Aussteiger' is the name they gave it (too many meanings, I'll come back to it later).
Such a clever design and a wonderful simple but effective way of constructing an outdoor boulder facility. Cool in it's way of all the possible moves it provides but most of all because it is outdoors !! Manteling in the open air with an environment that smells of wood makes it remind me of Bleau. Well not exactly, because it misses the great (smell of the) pinewoods of FB, but still a remarkable state of the art, eco-friendly boulderwall. Good on ya there in Wesseling, Germany.

Check out the construction pics and the full article (pdf) on their site.
