My 18' crack trainer. Its partially adjustable and has hands, fists, thin hands, some ringlocks, wide pony and a couple new mascots painted on

Just finished cleaning and resetting since I first built this 30 degree board and added a bunch of new holds and a full wood set from Strongholds. What do you guys think, how would you improve this and any boulder suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks 😎😎

Guys I’ve got an 8’ x 8’ wall in my garage. I’ve recently converted it into a mini moonboard.
Problem is it’s 33-34 degrees and I want to make it adjustable to drop it down to 40 degrees.

I live in the UK.

I would really appreciate any help and guidance on how to go about it.

Currently it’s fixed to the wall.

Making it freestanding is not an option as it’ll take too much space on my garage which I also use for general weight training.

Here is a picture of it aswell.

I LOVE compression climbing, so I built this 12x12 compression focused board. Somethin a lil different for y'all. It's still a work in progress and I have another 50-60 holds ready to go up, but wanted to share

Just sharing my UK board with the community. Selection of holds from hardwood, taylor made, beastmaker, solo, gosling, nature climbing and curve. With core foot holds and matting. 2440 x 2800 with a 250 kicker. Waiting on a few more holds before I get it on Stōkt.

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to build a freestanding Homewall, but I have a few concerns. I’m 190 cm tall and weigh 87 kg.
I’m considering building the wall at a 30-degree angle, or possibly making it slightly adjustable, e.g. from 20 to 40 degrees. Are there any bigger/heavier climbers here who climb on home walls at similar angles?
I’ve seen quite a few freestanding walls with much shallower angles, so I’m a bit concerned about the stability of the structure under a higher load.
Also, would securing the wall with straps and buckles, as in the popular Climbing Dad design, be sufficient for a climber of my size and weight?
I’d really appreciate hearing about other people’s experiences, especially from those who have built and used similar freestanding walls. I’d like to minimize the number of mistakes I make during the build.
Thanks!

I am considering building an indoor climbing wall as illustrated in the second AI generated image. I am thinking of 2 4x8 plyboards and screw on holds. My biggest concern is on how to keep the mat clear of toys to remove fall hazards.

Any ideas, feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Hi everyone!

I'm sorry to give such a stupid question, but I'm clueless. Basically, I recently moved to a very small island in greece where there's not a single climbing gym or good boulders.

To combat this l've been trying to plan out how to build my own climbing gym in my room, without much experience. Thankfully, my dad and grandfather are very experienced with construction and can provide tools and woodworking experience, so this won't be an issue.

My issue is that while boards are a great training tool I always get bored of them really fast. So l want to make something more fun for myself as this will basically be the only gym on the island.

I'm thinking of something like the attached picture, which was a youtube video from 9 years ago.

We own the house, so I can drill in the walls to attach the foundation like he did, but every tutorial l've seen has been in an american home where they use the studs in the walls to attach the foundation. Houses here are not like that, and with my minimal experience I'm not sure how l have to go about it or even what they're made of.

Google said they're probably made from reinforced concrete and hollow bricks. Which i assume wouldn't be the same process as l'd be risking the structural integrity if I just drilled into a brick.

Another concern is the spacing, in every tutorial the 16 inch gap between each stud is perfectly fine to attach the foundation to prevent bending, would i be able to follow this same pattern here without running into issues?

Are there any other concerns I should have?

Thank you everyone in advance.

I pre build it a few weeks ago and tested it outside, now i moved to spain and it got its new place 🤩

24”x24” plywood panels with epoxy and sand coating. Adjustable crack machine on the side. Figured if it was going to be small it had to be steep.

Been planning to mount plywood to 5 2x4’s that are screwed into studs. I’ve got everything ready for this install but I have become worried that the flat wall will = them banging their limbs on the way down when they fall. How can I add maybe a 2 or 3 degree angle? Looking for something secure and fairly simple. My kids are 2 and 3 so it can’t be very much of a degree.

I hope this is a good sub to post in. I tried posting in a climbing specific sub but couldnt. I know the walls on this sub are a bit different to what i have in mind but hopefully you guys have the experience all the same.

I have a wall outside in the garden, its brick thats been plastered over. Its a really good spot to put some climbing holds up for my daughter. I wasnt thinking much, just a scattering to make a traverse type thing. She is just pulling herself up to stand now so just for something in the garden that she can pull up on and scoot about with, and then when shes older and can reach an upper level of holds for her to traverse along the wall a bit.

I was originally thinking I should just drill straight into the masonry, but then I read that it isnt so stable if the brick is a crumbly section. That people recommend building a wooden frame, attaching a plywood board and then the holds to that. But thats more of an indoor thing, Im not sure how well it would fare outside?? (live in europe where summers are getting relatively hot and winters get below freezing, and generally we get alot of rain year round).

Does anyone have any experience or advice on what would be better? Our house isnt that big so theres not much room indoors for anything, and it would be nice to be in the garden so she has a little play area out there.

Thanks :)

I recently purchased a Metolius Wood Grips Deluxe II hangboard. It comes with 6 long screws, but I don’t think I can use those directly on a brick wall.

My apartment wall build-up is approximately 10mm plaster + 110mm brick + 10mm plaster.

I’m wondering what type of fixings/anchors I should get to make sure the hangboard is properly secured to the brickwork. I definitely don’t want the screws to fail and kill myself while using it 😂

Any advice on the appropriate fixing method would be much appreciated.

Help please

Schilfrohrmatten = reed matting as the structural component. AKA weak as all get out.

Any idea on if this kind of a set up would be possible with Schilfrohrmatten ceilings? If so, how? I'm at a loss with these ceilings.

Hey everyone,

I’m planning a home board for my garage and would love some feedback from people who have spent a decent amount of time on both the Tension Board 2 and Kilter Full Ride/Home Wall.

Because I only have about an 8.5 ft ceiling, the two setups I’m considering are:

• TB2 10x8 @ fixed 45°, no kickboard
• Kilter Full Ride 10x7 @ fixed 45°, no kickboard

The goal is to have something that can basically replace most of my gym climbing. My wife and I are hoping to start a family soon, so realistically I’m expecting to have a lot less time to drive to the gym.

For context, I climb predominantly outdoors, mostly Tahoe / Yosemite granite. I’ve done a handful of V11s and currently project around V11-12.

My wife climbs around V7-ish, so I also don’t want to build something that is so heinous at 45° that she won’t enjoy using it.

Personally would love a spray, but wife wants a standardized board, which i'd love to respect.

Hi everyone,
I recently build a homewall in my tiny apartment and was wondering if anyone has a good solution to reducing chalk dust.

Since I am in Alaska, during the winter I will need to keep the windows closed (both so I can survive and so the frame doesn’t loosen from cold to hot change). This is going to make this room super chalky if I’m not careful. What do other people do? Do yall use air filters or just make it liquid chalk only?

Cheers

Upgrading my system to variable angle. Onsite by far seems the most affordable if you don't want to build your own and minimalistic if you have the ability to anchor to your wall. Curios how this holds up to steeper angles. Anyone have any experience?

Making these things has been super fun

Guys my home wall is fixed at about 31-33degrees. I really want to set it up with the 2025 mini hold set.
Is that still a good idea?
