Laying down new routes

I just joined the team here at school, and we have an indoor wall(for winter climbing). It hasn't been taken very good care of, holds are off of routes, and such. I just put new textured paint on the wall for smearing, but I am having trouble putting up new routes on it. There are plenty of holds, Is there a place to go to see pictures, or does anyone know of a quick way to throw up some good 5/10, to 5/11 routes?

On the wall I climb on we use duct tape to mark off the routes the tape stays on pretty well and it's rather easy to stick on a wall...

do you mean making routes, like setting them or marking them? marking them is pretty easy, just use colored duck tape.

If you are looking for some pictures of routes to put up, I would recommend going to some indoor climbing gym websites. They usually have some good pictures that you can see what type of holds are in the route. Also, you can go check out the Home Wall Database - http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Trails/9640/database.html
Other than that, I am not sure what other advice I could give you. Good luck.

P.S. -> If you are just trying to mark routes, colored duct tape is your best bet
