Finally had a chance to finish the home wall and add a 35 degree wall. Originally started with a flat wall over 5 years ago, built a 22 degree wall a few years later and now added the final side. Definitely enjoy having some harder options available right at home for me to hop on during the few minutes of free time I have
Edit: Added a few more pictures from the construction. more home wall pics
Was able to finish sanding and get the first coat of Oil into these Quartersawn Pin Oak holds, can't wait until they get to be added to the wall!
We are starting our home build this weekend for our son’s wall. I had been planning on drilling all the holes prior to painting and then installing the t-nuts after painting. But, now I’m 2nd guessing that approach after seeing alternate recommendations online. What is the recommended approach?
So I have 40lb of escape climbing seconds (3rd pic) which I don’t think will be enough to fill my wall. I’m not really looking to buy any more holds for a while (unless I end up thinking I’m missing anything crucial one the holds I have are up).
I’ve never set a wall before, and think the spray wall approach is probably the best bet, but not sure since I don’t have enough holds to fill the wall up. Should I just fill it up as much as I can while spacing the pieces out as equal as I can with some of each type of hold in each section of the wall and just go from there? Any method to the madness? I was thinking starting in the middle with some of the holds I like best and just going from there with various types of holds spread evenly throughout the wall.
Side note: I went with a 45 degree angle and while I don’t regret it, do think it will be a bit tough at first considering I haven’t been climbing at all for about 4 months (moved and life got in the way but stoked to get back to it) (and over 10lb my typical climbing weight lol).
And please let me know if you see anything in this haul that I may be lacking in. I’m a bit rusty since I’ve been out of the gym for a minute but I feel like I have a good amount of pinches and crimps but could use more pockets and slopers (feel like I have basically no slopers at all except some sloperish edges)
I put up my wall today, and I'm concerned about some swaying happening (https://imgur.com/a/m0HvwmG). I built the frame out of some used decking wood I got for free, and the diagonal supports out of two 2 x 6s I attached. Everything is attached to the frame by 1/2" bolts, which I tightened again after noticing the wobble.
I'm hoping it'll go away when I attach the plywood, but does anything seem obviously wrong? Thanks :)
Guys I really appreciate all the help I’ve had so far with my home wall questions.
Since my DIY experience is non-existent, I’ve decided to get help.
A joiner/carpenter has give me a quote of £1000 for the job.
This includes structural plywood, frame work, fixings, mounting the thing and labour.
Is that reasonable?
I am currently pondering the size of my homewall: between 6x8 feet (180x240 cm), which can fit in my bedroom, and 8x8 feet (240x240 cm), which will be in my living room but needs a reorganization. My goal is to make a system board with wooden holds. I train mostly for lead climbing with a bit of bouldering.
Thank you !
I really want to build a homewall but my house is small and filled with a family and there’s just not a space. if I wanted a homewall with wooden holds, would this just be a nightmare if kept outside? has anyone got references, experience or advice?
So quick context, I'm moving in the October time frame, it's going to be roughly 45mins to an hour from any gym but I'll have a big garage to put some climbing walls! The current plan is a 12x12 spray wall and 8x12 system board. Currently between the tb2 or a decoy board, don't know what layout I'd want for the tb2 if I did go for that either there is a 12x12 mirror at one of gyms if I did want to make the occasional drive to it.
What are your guys opinions? Would you do something similar or completely different? I'm open to all ideas!
It is a ways away from the actual move so I'm sure once I'm actually in the space plans may change but I can't help day dream about it! Haha
I'll definitely update here once I start building and have it done too!
I saw another user's vid on bathang challenge on it and it seemed like a fun one to own
I'm curious if anyone here has used this holdset and what their experience with it has been.
Seems similar in price to that other budget set that got posted here (eclipse holds that look like 2016 moonboard holds) but this one actually has setup instructions so they should be more "universal" compared to that eclipse set. Wondering if anyone has experience with these holds, particularly in their standardized setup.
Hi guys, I’m quite a DIY novice so was really hoping if someone could help me out.
I live in Blackburn, UK.
Anyone here that can help me build a home wall in my garage?
Heavy af with me and a buddy have one more otw but we’re still not sure if it’s going to go. Is flipping it over the best option or any other methods?
Bought my hold used in bulk, it seems pretty old and I don't recognize the logo. The set of holds with this logo are awesome and I need more!
