Started on my climbing/caving wall

[jumar]

Got the steel frame up that I'm going to use to build a climbing/caving wall in my backyard. I can practice ascending ropes for caving on it right now. And i"ll be adding a platform, climbing wall and whatever else i can think of.

Do you need permits for this? I have heard of home made climbing walls but I have never seen one to the magnitude of this endeavour. Let me know how this turns out. I look forward to the finished project.

I want one! How cool! :2thumbs:

[Sombeech]

That looks like a lot of fun.

Sweet :2thumbs:

Finally worked a little more on this. I have part of the wall on it, so I can do some climbing. So now we can do rope ascending practice/training for caving, and a little bit of climbing. Found the panels with the hand holds on ksl classifieds for cheap :2thumbs:
Eventually I'll put another wall on the opposite side, with a roof bridging the two.

Looking good :2thumbs:

Jumar- You are the man! I am so impressed by this!

lehi UT huh? so really, i live in eagle mountain and want to practice my ascending....

[jumar]

Worked a little more on my wall.
The next step is to add an overhang on the right side wall, and a platform on top. It aint pretty, but it's fun. :2thumbs:

I can see how maybe your neighbors would not think it is "pretty" but from where I am sitting that is awesome!!!!

Function over fashion. Almost every time.

Bad ass jumar. I too would like to come by and have a look sometime. :naughty:

[jumar]

Just let me know, you can come by. I live in Lehi.

[accadacca]

That is BAD ASS!!! :2thumbs:

[jumar]

Added a little overhang to our wall today. I wanted a lip to practice getting over for caving, plus something a little steeper for exercise. It's been fun so far

[Wild One]

:nod: dude, that is pretty much the coolest thing I've ever seen.

looks awesome. If you don't mind sharing--how much $ do you have invested in this project so far?

:2thumbs:

[blueeyes]

That is the ultimate play toy for a kid... who needs swings!

[accadacca]

Epic win. :nod:

[Jaxx]

Wow you got alot done since I saw it last. It revives my dream of building a bouldering cave shed type structure in the side yard. I just need to convince the wife.

[Deathcricket]

Oh man that is so awesome! I also like seeing pics of your kid using it, thats great you got the whole family involved, instead of making it "daddies toy". Totally cool man.

That's great :2thumbs:
