VANCOUVER — The Northwest Renewable Energy Institute unveiled a 75-foot climbing tower during a ceremony Friday at its Vancouver campus.
The climbing tower allows students to obtain a Competent Climbers Certificate, which is necessary in some jobs in the wind-energy industry, according to the institute. Climbing is a necessary skill for technicians working on 300-foot tubular wind-energy towers.
