I am looking for ideas to add to my garage wall/ceiling gym. I have verticle walls, ceilings, 45 degree walls, aretes as far as structure. I currently have a place for hangboard, system wall (on 45 degree wall), 80 sq ft of ceiling for power/endurance routes). I use the verticle wall for various sit start projects and a mono finger pocket system wall as well as a tiny crimp system wall.. The principles I can hit with my set up are endurance, power moves, recruitment training, and threshold bouldering training....I do use the training for climbing and self coached climber books for direction too..
Question: with what Ive mentioned above and to those who have home qyms are there anyother modalities that I may be missing..Any suggestions on things to add???

Looks like my pics are too big to upload...I have a few on www.garagewoody.com
However, today I descided that my next project is a sloping wall from ground to ceiling. The only sloping wall I have now is on a column that angles about 40 degrees to the ceiling starting at about 4 ft off the ground..Question is what is the most appropriate angle for this training wall? Is 45 to aggressive? The wall will be 10ft tall and 8 feet wide. It will tie directly in to the ceiling wall at that angle. Its the wall where the bike and ladder are located.

I have a 30* section of wall and both like and use it a lot. I think it depends on what you are training for. If you want to climb steep walls/caves/boulders then 45* is the way to go. If you want to train on smaller holds and less steep movement, I'd say 30*. At times I wish mine was steeper, but I still get a ton of benefit from 30*.
Looking at your pictures, I'd say to use whatever angle that brings the top right up to the dividing line. With 8-12" of kicker panel on the bottom.
*Side note* my kicker is made out of 2"x8". If you have enough screw on jibs, this is a solid and inexpensive alternative to framing out a panel.

Thanks for the input. The wall is going to end up being 30 degrees. I did do the 2X6 boards as the kick plate. Now Im pondering how to set up the back sided of the wall for storage before I put the panels up. I also have a ceiling light that I may just have to just cover up. The fun never stops:) Id like to stick a cool volume in the middle...
