$150 - Pick-up in Portland, OR

My daughter has outgrown her training woody, time to find it a new home.  Perfect for a kiddo 18 months or younger, ~3 years old is when my daughter was able to cheat everything in two moves.  Get 'em hooked on climbing before they can walk.  :-)

The woody is a rock-solid freestanding 15 degree slab with outer dimensions of 73.5h x 49w x 18d.  There is a 45w x 6.5h slot at the bottom so you can easily slide a crash pad in for protection.  The frame is made of 2x4s joined with pocket holes.  The main wall is 48w x 70h and is made of 3/4" plywood with 3-hole t-nuts set in an 8" offset pattern.  The sides are 1/4" paneling and are smooth enough for teaching arete climbing.  The wall has sufficient mass to prevent tipping for any climber under 50lbs; at 150lbs I have to deliberately lean back to tilt the wall.

Includes 4 replacement t-nuts and 33 holds from Atomik Climbing ranging from foot jibs to full-on jugs (with ~30 bolts).  Crash pad not included.

Freshly Minted:

Crash pad folded up and secured to dissuade free soloing:

Climb on!

Sean, if you could send the rope chair specs to me too, I would be stoked!

@sean

Is the wall your design?
Can you share build list on that?
Too far to pick up or I would.

Same here.  How about let's build 2 while we are at it?

I uploaded full res pictures and SketchUp models for both the chair and wall: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UfSA6DCL1oDS8M4OYfUqLrv_sztcMaz-?usp=sharing

My dad and brother made the rope chair as a wedding gift.  My understanding is they eyeballed the design based on pictures they found online.  Apparently figuring out how to weave the rope required a fair amount of trial and error.  If I were to change anything I would drop the front cross by ~2", though I created the model using the actual dimensions.  The angle/drop of the seat is great, but the bar itself is a bit high and prevents your feet from comfortably touching the round, e.g. the bar cuts into the back of your knees unless your feet are resting on something.

The wall is my own design.  I think the only thing that isn't documented in the model is the extra strip of 3/4" plywood I added to the feet to raise the height in order to make it easier to slide the crash pad in/out.

Let me know if you have any questions, want more pictures uploaded, etc..
