Beautiful. I'm actually building my own home wall as well! Once it's finished I'm gonna try my crack at content creation. I adore your home made holds as well. "directions > variety" and "pannels = everything" are definitely noted. Although I planned to make my wall "settable" because I am honestly more stoked at the prospect of setting my own problems over having a home wall.
u know I was also general stokt about setting my own problems but then once I started actually putting up holds I very quickly realized that "I didn't like setting" all that much. So for me I find just spray walling it is the way to go .. And make sure you have a good landing ZONE
Very nice! I did my home wall at exactly the same setup except it is 12'x12'. 40 degree overhanging but can still run circuits on the better holds (Ondra did a video on home wall setups and he recommended I believe between 30-40 degrees). I setup campus rungs on the far left side of my board and that proves quite challenging (need a fairly large rung to focus on power and not fingers). Also went with escape seconds and they provided a nice variety of holds. I would say my board is probably 50/50 wood/plastic and the more I climb on it, the more i tend to gravitate to the wood holds as they are much more skin friendly. I also completely agree with getting good plywood. I went with 3/4" birch for the exact reason you mentioned.
I did a similar approach with my wall (focusing on diversifying pulling directions rather than hold types). I also have it set to feet follow hands, as I didn't put many footholds beyond the kicker. And yes, holds are f-in costly. I've recently achieved the climbing hold density I've always wanted (really inspired by Japanese spray walls), but the process was very expensive. For anyone in a similar boat, I recommend buying factory seconds (these sell out fast), waiting for sales, or asking your local gym about any holds they might be retiring.
yes. them holds are so damn expensive. did you ever look into making some of your own like I did??? Surprinsingly not that hard if you have the euipment
@@ChengisAlwaysClimbing Yeah, forgot to mention. I have a couple of wooden holds I shaped as well -- super nice for skin. Speaking of which, I also sanded down 90% of my plastic holds. I'd rather lose skin while sending outdoor projects, not during training.
Nice :) Might be interesting to hear more about how you built your home-wall (EG in a tutorial style) for those of us who would be interested in building a home-wall one day but wouldn't know where/how to start
It's unbelievable how much short volumes add to any wall. I built low volumes for my gym in Fargo ND and want to start selling but I have nowhere to test/model them since I sold my last wall... I am building my second home wall right now, and I keep returning to your videos just to check out your home wall. It's cool that you made it all out of 2x4s and free-standing. Does it shake noticeably?
How was the set up with the Stokt app? How much does it cost? Can you add extra holds or completely reset your wall? I’ve recently finished my 45 degree wall and went with the Retro Flash app instead, because it seem pretty easy to use. Idk to know your thoughts
stokt app cost me 100 buck usd for my wall...I cannot add new holds or reset my wall without resubmitting a new pic and paying again. Overall I'm very happy with the service.

ahhh..what a sick wall you got. I wish my wall was wider.

the back structure is actually 2x6 I believe...but in general it doesn't shake that much.
@@ChengisAlwaysClimbing Ok that makes more sense lmao

Loving your content. Climbed in Taylor Falls in 2016. You been Barn Bluff?
I have been to barn bluff, though I'm not the biggest fan of ropes so I mostly try to avoid the ropes LOL.
Did u send the v5 i set?
uhhhh...we did a re-set of the wall so everything basically is new
@@ChengisAlwaysClimbing ahh thats sad ): i never got to try it again. Oh well, just have to set another banger
yessir
nice.
thanks
