Hi, My name is Matt, and I am at a non profit school called Ravencrest. (www.ravencrest.org) We are currently trying to build a climbing wall, but we dont know where to start. Since it is a non profit we are looking at about $1000 to build it and most of that would be me chipping in various ways. Any ideas on how to stretch the money?
Thanks.

Well, since you are at a school, and presumptively have more time available than money, I think you should look into making your own holds for the wall. There are tutorials out there on how to cast holds; you can make them from wood; or use epoxy (PC-7, as I recall) to glue rocks to wood for mounting on the wall.
