View Full Version : Junior Climber
Just wanted to show off my junior climbing wall I built for my 3 year old. He is tiny for his age so can't really take him to adult climbing walls, so I built him an indoor removable climbing wall.

Pretty cool! And clever too. Never thought of building my own wall. I guess you can buy the pegs and just drill them into the wall?

Seeing my kid reach the top in a spider man fashion - priceless :)
It was a fun little project, I can take the wall up and down for protection and safety. I don't use any harnesses or ropes yet because my kid is still very light and I can catch him if he falls. At his last birthday party it was a huge hit with all the kids and my arms were VERY tired from spotting all the kids.

Sweeet! That's how old my nephew is. We've had him out on the rocks, caves and canyons this summer. Can't wait til my own kid gets here in November.

we've got a big maple tree in my backyard that has a ton of climbing holds on it for my little ones. LOL
on a branch about 12 feet up i installed a bolt/rapide to top rope my little guys and allow them to get comfortable being in their harnesses.
gotta start em' young :2thumbs:
