PLASTIC PARADISE: Escalade Gym - Kennesaw, Georgia
  EnlargeChris Sierzant built Escalade Climbing Gym with his own hands from the ground up and is constantly making additions. Tufas, massive natural features, were some of the first additions. To please the kids that frequent his gym, and add a unique twist, Chris built a "cosmic monkey bar tunnel", a topout boulder with a old Burger King slide installed for the descent, and a giant monkey cage.
