View 2 of 2 of a batch of home-made climbing holds, these are the raw, just out of the mold forms, they still have to be touched up and sanded.

Molds, made by squeezing a tube or two of 100% pure silicone over planters foam.

view of future climbing wall location from mezzanine across three storey open space. Lead and top rope anchors installed, panels ready to go.

view from playroom, with the first 3 panels up. Wood on the floor in front of the wall is for roof parapets, and is not part of the wall.

finally the first three panels of the wall are up, 3 more to go.... its going to be awfully hard to finish the rest of the house now... too much climbing to do...

This is the future location of my home climbing wall. This is a portion of my house, currently under construction. The Climbing Wall portion will be on teh right hand side of the picture between the steel door and the leading edge of the mezzanine of the floor above. The wall will be a straight vertical wall 26+ feet high. The planking that spans to the beams is temporary for construction, and upon completion shall be removed.

a plywood hangboard I made a few moons ago, by laminating plywood panels together and drilling holes in them, then sandin'er down.
