The Sixth of June Climbing Wall inspiration from Point du Hoc for

Remembrance of heroism that World War day in Nineteen Forty Four

We created art to cover your cold fireplace load bearing wall

Each will look like a famous cliff and also be a climbing wall

In your own living room with wildlife from the area on each side

of the climbing wall. There will be hand holds that are wide

enough to be gripped and give you a chance to elevate yourself

with soft surfaces below so any fall will be caught and yourself

and your family will get some exercise, practice dexterity and

have a warm, exciting place in your own home in which to land.

On the Sixth of June Climbing Wall Inspiration

There was a Cliff to climb at Omaha Beach on

D‑Day, and it was a major obstacle for Allied forces.

The cliff in question is Pointe du Hoc, a rocky force

Of nature. A promontory at the western end of Omaha Beach.

It rose about 100 feet heavily fortified above the sea

with German artillery positions, including six one hundred fifty five

millimeter guns in concrete casemates, machine guns. Stay alive

against mortars, and barbed wire while racing across a beach

and climbing a hundred foot tall cliff! Those German guns could

fire on both Omaha and Utah Beaches, which would

make the Pointe du Hoc a critical threat to the landings

Allied planners decided the only way to neutralize the guns

was to take the cliff by force. The U S Second and Fifth Ranger

Battalions were tasked with the cliff scaling assault. The Rangers

landed on a beach miles away, had to navigate rough seas hampered

by poor visibility, and then used ladders, ropes, and

rocket‑powered grappling hooks to climb the steep, rocky face.

The climb was treacherous, with some Rangers on the face

scrambling up after the bombardment brought debris down to the base.

The Rangers succeeded in capturing the Pointe du Hoc after the race.

They destroyed the German guns, and cut the road behind the face,

but the operation was costly because it was  delayed, under fire on the face,

and involving heavy seasickness and damaged equipment.

Today, Pointe du Hoc is a preserved battlefield and memorial battlement

 marking one of the most dangerous and heroic climbs of D‑Day.

Yes, on D‑Day, Omaha Beach was backed by a 100‑foot cliff that

Allied forces had to scale to secure the beachhead.
