t-nuts can not be put into bricks, you need to get cement drop-in anchors, look on Metolius's website. also, you can't screw into bricks either.

frame up a wall out of lumber and attach it to the brick. than you can have a overhanging wall. not just vertical

In reply to: also, you can't screw into bricks either. My friend and I built a climbing wall in a stairwell in his house when we first started climbing (about 10 yrs ago). One wall of the staircase was brick and we made holds out of wood and chunks of rock and screwed them into the brick with tapcom screws. It was a pretty fun wall for us when we were just beginning (once we got used to the bad landings :D ). And apparently it is still holding up, my friend was just at home and climbing on it the other day.

depends on the quality of the mortar and the type/age of brick. either way it shreds the hell out of your fingers

They'd pull out almost immediately. I think you'd have to place some sort of winged bolt all the way through the brick into the hollow center where the flanges would 'wing' out thus preventing them from pulling out but risking destroying the brick.
