Information on a new activity at the coast: climbing tower in Swakopmund. Information on climbing and abseiling at Spitzkoppe.

A 15 meter high climbing tower is based at the SFC Sports Center (Swakopmund Football Club) in Swakopmund.
The tower has four walls, one wall has a five meter overhang, the other three are vertical walls and are designed for training for all ages. The youngest climbers start at five years of age. All climbers climb on a top rope which makes climbing very safe. With this method the rope is thread through a pulley at the top so the climber is always protected from falling. Once the climber reaches the top he/she is lowered gently back to the ground. The benefit of the tower is that routes can be changed and altered regularly.
