My Junior year in college I built another climbing wall in my bedroom.  This wall was similar to the wall I built at Steve's house: more or less an upside down U.  It went up one wall, across the ceiling and then down the far wall.  The climbing extended up the first wall on an overhang with different angles and then across the roof for one 4x8 panel and then quit.  The far wall was empty.  Marty installing a foot jib on the lower section of the wall.  You can see a finger crack jug at the top right of the picture. This is the back of the wall on the bottom before installing the shelves.  Here is the top of wall behind the overhanging section.  The different length pieces were a result of my father's carpentry maxim: don't cut a board unless you absolutely have to.  This shows the roof and the overhang. The lower half of the wall once it had holds on it and a shelf behind it for storing all our gear. The top half of the wall with shelves and holds and stuff.  Ok, the top half and the roof with holds, shelves, and a 3 part harmony. The far side of the room where we stored the club's climbing shoes.  Climbing wall's are great pieces of furniture for organizing stuff.
