At my local indoor climbing gym they have these huge crash pads, probably 7'x5' and probably a good 1.5'-2' thick. Anyone know where I can find one of these? I'm looking at putting an overhang on my woodie but it's only going to be about 10' up so I figured that this would be a safter option then a regular crash pad.

Cordless used to sell "the big Boy" which was intended for gyms. . . look for that or try looking for gymnastics mats.

Most companies make big a$$ mats. Metolius/Cordless/Flashed etc. all make XXL mats, but they ain't cheap.

if you know anybody who works at a school, the gym teacher might be able to score you some old gymnastics ones.

I found these after a bit of looking. I think that I might just order the case and then stuff it myself with the foam that you can find at an arts and crafts store.
Thanks for all the help.

if the wall is indoors i'd just use some old mattresses or something soft and padded. Much less $.
