Home Climbing Wall in South Pasadena

Since I don't have room to make a real climbing wall in my apartment, I made a hit strip 45 degree small wall that I can setup and take down quickly. Gotta do what you gotta do when living in the city

is that plywood 1.22 x 2.44 meters?

Thanks

It is two 2" x 10" boards held together by the hit strips on one side and a flat metal brace on the other side. They are cut to length for that particular location. The boards are very sturdy and I don't believe regular plywood would work. Cost was around $10-15 if I recall for the wood and hardware.

couldn't you do the same thing with a ladder?

[pulkovskaya]

Yes, but Hit Strips target specific finger combinations with ergonomically shaped pockets. The old school Bachar Ladder was essentially the same idea. This is more refined and climbing specific.

that gets boring real quick

great idea!

I've (read my mother) been wanting to make something less permanent and this could be the solution.

thanks!

yea, yesterday i used those things for the first time and i def. see what you mean.

Yes, those are the Hit Strips from Nicros. That's not plywood. It's 2 2x10's mounted together with joiner plates. They aren't breaking under any normal load.
