Need some advice fellow climbers. A local gym is opening in 29Palms (right out side Joshua Tree NP) and they want to teach a regularly scheduled class on physical conditioning. They have agreed to have two walls for training. It’s not huge but it's a start. The room is 29'x26' with an 18' ceiling. Since it's going to be for training purposes, I was thinking all the walls should be more then or equal to vertical with at least one roof. That's about as far as I've gotten. All ideas and sketches would be appreciated.

well, i can always cash in my 2 cents. 18 isnt very high, so you might just wanna keep it simple, go from vertical to slight overhang, and back to vertical. that kinda thing. i roof on a 18 foot might be weird, especailly if ur on top, then your gonna swing way out if you fall, or if your on lead, you will probably hit the ground. so i would just say keep it simple, just enough to be interesting thats all i got matt

Maybe you an focus on having just the right amount of overhangs with the right amount of vertical. It is awesome to have verticals to work on footing, but overhangs are always juicy and can help a lot when it comes to strength.

So here is a suggestion. Everyone is always concerned about the overhangs and roofs, but what about the non-overhanging, less than vertical sections. Don't get me wrong, roofs are nice, but how many times have you been outside and encountered a less than vertical section--if your experience is anything like mine, it has been many times. I suggest you dedicate at least one small section to a less than vertical angle. Give it some variation. There was a problem I was working on this weekend and wanted to come back and work on something similar at my gym, but guess what--no less than vertical wall.....think about it peace-pcrew. PS--Go W.

my suggestion is to have just a little roofy terrain. and just a little vertical stuff for warming up. overhangs of different angles offer the best workout IMHO. as for less than vertical... i dont think you can accurately simulate slabs indoors because the footholds are too good and you can never simulate the fear factor.
