Climbers can scale this architectural wonder without concern of safety and as the days pass more and more avid climbers are following suit to take in the experience.

It's interesting to note that Bjoerks Climbing Centre was born of humble beginnings, just a couple of climbers who were passionate about the sport and had a genuine desire for something spectacular in their area. Breaking ground in 1968, the adventure into what is now a world class climbing centre was anything but easy. So after 50 plus years to see thousands of climbers coming from all over the globe we are reminded that vision and hard work really can pay off.
