How much? It would look great in my garage, since you stole my color scheme. I think I would rather have it go steep to vert than vert to roof.

I might be interested in some of your holds, especially the larger ones. I'll be in the Springs the weekend of April 7/8 so local pickup would work. Let me know.

Impressive gym,,,looks like a real professional climbing gym. Made alot of space work for you for sure.

thanks! yeah me and a few buddies put it up. took a week but honestly more beer drinking got done than building.
Just to clear some things up, i am not selling my holds, Those will be going to my new climbing gym.
As far as how much i would like to sell it for, let me do some talking with the girlfriend and figure out how much we would like to get out of it.

And suddenly I'm feeling the need to go build my woody. This thread has made me realize I really need to finish mine instead of just having the materials.

Hey, I'm going to be putting up a bouldering wall in my room soon. I was just wondering how those of you who have put walls up feel about painting the woody? I'm not really concerned about the aesthetics of the wall so much as the functionality. That is, I've heard some people say that holds will spin if the wall is not painted with some sort of textured paint. Those of you with unpainted walls, do you find that to be the case? Or does it not really matter that much?

Thanks for the advice!

My wall in my barn is painted and painting, in my experience, does not make a difference except the aesthetic of it. Makes for good vibes, but so does the classic exposed wood (to me).

If anything drop some $ and mix in antiskid sand into paint, makes smearing possible (depending on situtaion of course) and helps fill the potential of your wall/space.

I love danmoyer89's paint job on his woody. Reminds me of a Basquiat painting. Nice job.

Woody built by my room-mates and I in a day or so, still more work to do pending funds.

Put this up in my yard the past couple days. Its still in progress, but coming along. Thanks for the inspiration!

My home gym is 1000 sq ft climbing surface in a 20x24 shop with a 12' ceiling. 20/15/10 roll, 20/45/15 bulge, 45/60/30 roof, a 40, a nice arete and some vert. 6"dual density foam with carpet overlaid, pretty fun place to hang out! here's a few photos of construction and finished product... sorry some of the pics are kinda crappy

Greg you must already know but damn that's awesome.

Thanks, Chris!

This is my third home wall so I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted when I got this shop with my new house. Pretty fun place to play over the winter for sure.

Basement Woody. 1st time build

This is my Woody. It has a 20% angle into a 50% upper, then a vertical wall with a flat roof. It also has a inner corner system. All finish at the hang board.

About $130 in materials and a $75 bucket of holds from a local auction. I used sand mixed with paint for texture.

Good fun and winter training!

Is it sturdy enough, or would you change it if you could? A picture would help a lot, if anyone can provide one. How wide is your free standing board? And one last question, would a 20 degree board need a kicker/footer or be OK without? Thanks.

#1 Lag-bolts work best IMO, check photo #6 and 9 here (rough idea of how I have done the lag-bolts): andylibrande.com/homeclimbi…

#2: width should be no less then 8ft, 12 ft is really nice

#3: at 20 degrees you probably don't need a kicker.

psyched to finally be able to contribute to this thread!
