my little woody is 50 degrees and 16 feet in length by 8 feet in width. Suspended on notched power poles and held together with large lag screws. I find that the hardest part of climbing on 50 degrees is finger skin wear lol




I still need more holds to fully use the surface

My wall is also outside and the hold stay up all year round. Weather, especially direct sun and heat have taken a toll on the plastics and fibers of holds. They have become really rugged and sharp, painful on the fingers, so they need to be sanded down a bit to keep them finger friendly for sure. I just can't take them all off in the winter anymore, some are frozen in place with rusted out t-nuts after years in same spot. I'm just lucky I haven't had more panels rot out in the weather after 18 years in place out there!!

?? I still don't get it. 1400 mm is 1000mm = 1 meter, and 400 more which is .4 meter...Thus 1.4 meters is equal to 1400mm, not less. Still not sure what is being measured for the 1400 number. Height, width, what part is 1400mm. ?

yeah I may sand a couple that area abit rough like the gorilla up top. Luckily I get very little sun on the holds. It is hot here in SC so I built the wall where it forms shade the majority of the day.

Just finished 'The Rainbow' tonight. This thing has seven cracks (one for each color of the rainbow) from tips to fists and seven different increasingly difficult foothold combinations (one for each color of the rainbow), thus 49 crack problems, as well as four boulder problems. It's 18 feet tall and you finish by grabbing a big heart-shaped jug. Schwizzle.

So I finally went ahead and built the wall. 75" wide, 8 ft of climbing surface at 40 degrees from vertical, plus a 1-ft kickboard.

I have a question about the bolted joints. I currently have the wall connected to the vertical supports using a 1/2" carriage bolt on each side. Is this a strong enough connection, or should I beef it up for more shear strength?

I think that's the best crack system I've ever seen on a home wall. Very nice, and the colors make it even better. My pic is of old home wall, getting some action this afternoon with some friends. Mid 70s' wonderful day to climb.

Cool weather has allowed for some nice evening sessions with the big door open in my barn.

A few cracks and a few angles.
12 feet tall and about 700 feet of climbing surface.

Just finished this new indoor climbing room, still in high school and didn't have much of a budget so it was built completely by my self and came completely out of my pocket. Total surface (on the inside is) is 170 Feet, but planing on adding the a 45 wall on the left outside wall and a 35 wall on the front outside wall. Three walls that are each 10ft by 5ft and a small overhanging wall that is 4ft by 5ft!

I understand that rainbows must follow the ROY G BIV convention, but I might have colored the cracks to correspond to c4 sizes.

Either way, that is so awesome and I'm jealous. Nice work!

You've got your metric conversion right, don't worry about that. 1400mm or 1.4m is about 55" and by my best guess I would say that is the depth of the horizontal part of the roof not the height and from the angle the picture is taken at it is difficult to estimate the width (considering width, height, and depth as from the climbers perspective standing at the bottom of the wall).

Love this thread!
We just finished my woodie Sunday and have been setting and climbing since. I have a 40' covered driveway with half of it framed with a solid wooden cover, the other half an old aluminum roof so We built into the first half. 2x6 framing, with 4' of 5deg overhang to a horizontal roof at 9' tall. Then 4' more with the same 5deg wall but at 8ft has a 70deg roof 4' out to a horizontal roof. Then a small 4 foot low vertical wall and horizontal roof with a cutout for our livingroom window. That connects to the 4' wide 15 deg roof which goes up 5.5' to a 30deg overhang then a 4' long horizontal roof. So far we have set over 20 routes from V1 to V9 and more going up every day. We sunk 850 tee nuts and mixed that with a few bags of screw on jibs.
Still a work in progress as we are building some volumes and hopefully will add another 20' of wall later in the year. The constrains were that my Full size truck and car had to still be able to drive under the wall to get to my garage out back.

How did you do your adjustable crack machine? Did you use the same system for the right side and the roof one?

Thanks

The crack machine is just 2 8ft 2x10s with 6 lag bolts running through them, the bolts are fixed on one side with nuts and loctite and the other side is adjustable by nuts and washers on each side that you spin to adjust. Its hanging on 4 eye bolts.. The one on the wall is much more primitive with different size spacer blocks I put in by removing the right side.
