Wine and climbing, doesn't get much better than this.

The volume was neat to make. Not too bad for my first time.

Put up first sheet of plywood on top section. Then had to at least put up a route. Sweet.

Completed footboard.

Be creative.

Second section of incline wall construction begins.

3rd section framed up.

Beginning to put up plywood and holds. Very basic routes.

Center first, then work your way to the ends.

Reinforce the 65 degree pole for phase two of the wall.

Let's add a feature to the flat wall, it was getting a little boring.

After taking some time off for snowboarding season and travel to Asia....it was time to get back to building.

Putting the wife to work.

Tarp keeps sun off wood and climbing holds.

More plywood......more money.....

Future thoughts.......

Added a section in the crook of the intersecting poles.

Square it up.

Reinforced on the backside.

Kickboard framing done. Add plywood then onto the hard part; the 65 degree wall.

In charge of sanding and painting.

Section 2 frame up complete. I doubled up on the top 2x6 to add more stiffness to the second section. Future pics will show how the top section will be reinforced for stiffness.

Added a roof, but not sure about using it. Height is 12ft.

Deckboard for the kickboard.

Phase two will be a 65 degree wall. You can see the poles that will hold the wall. Kick board vertical about 3 ft high then to a 65 incline.

Section 2 covered. Combination of one sheet of plywood, leftover deckboards and 2x6's. Don't be afraid to use your scrap wood as long as its pressure treated.

Had to add a mega volume. Used scrap and left over wood. Got the idea from one of the volumes in my old gym. This made the flat wall come alive with some awesome new routes.

Mark and plan your spacing when using boards.

Prep the ground.

First route.

I used blocks as the foundation. Used sand underneath to even the blocks.

Some new routes went up today. This completes phase II of my backyard wall.<br>
Going to take a winter break from construction to snowboard and do some climbing on some real rock.<br>
See you in the spring when phase III, the cave, starts.

Don't forget to use your level.

Maybe a ledge here for some heelhooks.....
