Garage Climbing Wall

Step 6 Mount holds and finishing touches

Hopefully you've got your hands on some holds or at least ordered some by this point. Setting routes is an artform and I wont go into it in this instructable (another day). There is no set way to do it, and it varys from wall to wall but the best way to break in a new wall (in my opinion) is to evenly distribute the holds all over the wall then start climibing, moving the holds around one at a time to work certain moves into the wall etc. Mess around with it for a while until you get tired of it then change them around. The hold configurations are essentially endless. If you somehow managed to run out of hold configurations you can always buy more holds or make your own! Which would make another great instructable.

At this point I also mounted the belay points. I bolted 3 bolt hangers to my ceiling joists about the wall just to belay my small brother and to help aid in teaching people to belay.

As for the pullup bar. I had already mounted it at this point but basically it is just a square frame made from 2 x 4's that is bolted to the ceiling joists.

what i like to do is first place 3 holds. after that i hang in it and make a movement. wherever my hand ends (or just doesn't :p), i place a hold.
