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 |

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 surfaceMy 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!! |

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. |

My pic is of old home wall, getting some action this afternoon with some friends. Mid 70s' wonderful day to climb. Cindy heading for steep finish. |

Cool weather has allowed for some nice evening sessions with the big door open in my barn. Dyno challenges to end the night |

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! |

Schwizzle.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! |

Here's my home wall. 20ish degrees overhanging with a ratty fingers corner crack, an adjustable crack on the right side and now a roof crack machine that goes from 3/4" to 4.5". |

Height, width, what part is 1400mm. ?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! |

Did you use the same system for the right side and the roof one? Thanks |

ThanksThe 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. |
