In this photo there are a number of straps and biners hanging from the wall. Are they used for rest spots where one hangs free?

I'm guessing it's just for practice.

They are for the real use of the wall - play restraining male or female partners. (I say play because the carabiners are not locking).

Well, 6 replies and no one answered what the straps and biners are for.
I'm just a beginner, so have no idea.
Can anyone answer this question?

They're for lead climbing protection, but on a wall that low, essentially useless.
If you don't know what lead climbing or protection is, read the beginners FAQ in the beginners forum. And if you're that much of a beginner, maybe you should climb a bit in a commercial gym before making the various commitments of building your own wall. In your living room. With a non-climbing spouse.

Of course you don't. And not that I'd have them (so far).
