Looking at the photo in post #1, you can see the tall vertical wall that's on the outside of the staircase tower on the right at Funspot that is now an artificial climbing wall with two different routes on it. While general admission into Monkey Trunks costs either 39 or 49-dollars, depending on one's height, getting onto the climbing wall can sometimes be done for only ten dollars, at the discretion of the manager. It probably depends on how busy they are, and if anyone is using the climbing wall, or something like that? How high is the climbing wall? Am not sure but my guess is 30-40 feet, and it is straight up with no overhangs or anything. Safety belaying is done with a friction self-belay by a device that resembles a large spring-loaded tape measure that is attached to the top of the climbing wall. As you climb up from the bottom, the safety belay winds in the strap, avoiding any slack, to keep you safe, should you lose your grip from a handhold.

Have not tried it myself......30 or 40' straight up on a friction self belay....is probably too much height exposure for me with just a mechanical device for moral and physical support? Will have to watch someone else do it a time or two before trying it....and then will just probably chicken out anyway!
