I'm thinking of investing in building a climbing wall...? But should I ? I live in San Diego and the weather is alway's ripe for climbing year round, but for some unknown reason I'm alway's thinking build a wall! Maybe just because...help me should I or should I just get out there and climb?
Seeking advice

I definitely don't think it is such a bad idea! If there isn't any indoor climbing venues close by, GO FOR IT!!
I do most of my training after 9 o'clock at night, so for me (if I were to come to San Diego) it would be very beneficial. Since I'm sitting here in sunny South Africa, my opinion probably doesn't mean much. I just think that everybody who works during the day, can only climb over weekends, so give them the opportunity to be able to climb every day!
You cannot go wrong!

Thanks tygereye,
Never thought of it that way. Your right I would be able to climb everyday after work, at night etc... Thanks again for your advice. I'm going for it!

I live in Tucson, Arizona where the weather is almost never too bad to climb. I have a bouldering wall in my yard. It is definitely worth it. I can climb whenever I want... hey, I was on it at 3 this morning (try going to the gym at 3am ) There's no way to get out to the crags everyday, unless that's all you ever do. Go for it!

It's a great place to introduce others to the sport. When people come to my house and I am showing them around, I am always the most excited to show them the attic where I have a pretty sweet wall. It's amazing how many people get hooked.

I am actually planning to buil a wall also, looking for info on that is how i got to this forum, my idea is to go for a bouldering adjustable angle wall. There are no gyms in my city and therefore the only training i can get is in a common weightlifting gym. If anyone has got any ideas that could help me go ahead and mail me.

actually how many people out there would spend money to call Enterprice to build a wall at their home?
