Build an Indoor Rock Climbing Wall Yourself! Part I: Introduction

All right, so someone probably thinks you’re crazy because you want to build your own rock climbing wall, or you live by yourself and that’s because everyone already knows you’re crazy.

Well forget them- let’s do it. Here’s a guide to some of the best rock climbing wall building resources on the Internet.

While you’re building, take some pictures, contact me, and send em! I’ll put them on the site if they’re not too weird.

Overview of what you need to build your rock climbing wall:

• Climbing holds – once you get the wooden frame built, the type and arrangement of climbing holds is really what makes your wall
• Wood – you’ll need 2×4’s and plywood sheets to build the frame
• Tools – more on that in the next steps
• Tenacity – to not leave an unfinished useless hulk in your basement, attic, or backyard.
• Music – to listen to while you work!
