Adjustable angle on a woodie

I built a home bouldering wall back in April like so many other climbers have done. However, I added one cool feature which I haven't seen to many people do. The angle of the wall is fully adjustable from 20-45 degrees thanks to two electric-powered winches that you can operate via remote control. If anyone wants to bounce some ideas off me for their own home wall or if you want some help building your own feel free to message me!

Happy Climbing

Cool!  Do you have anything backing the winches up, or are they sufficient on their own?

I have two 2x4 blocks attached to the A-frame where the wall rests at 45 degrees. This should stop the wall from hitting the ground if BOTH winches were to fail. That being said both winches are rated to well over two thousand pounds so a failure would be unlikely.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
