A beard inspired climbing wall...

The "magnificent" beard of socialist thinker Friedrich Engels has inspired a climbing wall sculpture in Salford

The new Arch climbing wall in Highgate is planning to incorporate a section in the form of Karl Marx's beard.

It's the Billy Gibbons/ Dusty Hill one that I'm looking forward to.

Oh dear

"Engels' Beard is a metaphor for how it is an effort and a struggle to pull ourselves out of ignorance [and] a direct representation of how all philosophers 'stand on the shoulders of giants'."

Freeing The Nose will never have the same cachet.

'Standing on the shoulders' is Newton isn't it? Surely a more appropriate philosopher for a climbing wall. No beard but you could model something on his wig.

Thank goodness these people haven't gone into climbing wall construction!

There seems to be much more interest on UKC in a beard-shaped climbing wall than a beard shaped bouldering wall.

Better than a Salvador Dali´s beard climbing wall (or a Hitler one, which would be a two route micro bouldering block.....)

Some of the routes look a bit hairy. Do you know if it is a new fangled adjustable wall, or is it held at a constant Engle?

A Hitler one would be a fingerboard.
