Nice job, one of the biggest home walls I've ever seen.

Not including the holds, what did that run you to put it up?
And where in your house?

ITs actually built in my garage. The side of my garage had a crappy lean to built on it with a sloped roof. 7' on the garage side and 6' on the opposite side, 21 feet deep, and 8' wide, so i was like Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy i could build a bouldering "cave" wall in here.
the ply wood was 12 sheets @ around $22 a sheet. 3/4 plywood.
The studs.....60 studs in all and that was around $3 a piece sooo $180 in studs, $260 in plywood, and around $25 in skrews.
Took me about a total of 12 hours to build by myself.
the holds were. . . .shit like $700 in all. I bought like $400 for xmas and i spent 300 on holds last week. in all i pounded in 65 T nuts per sheet for a grand total of like. . .760 T nuts total or something. It sucked ass.
so materials were $460 plus tax
holds $700
ps. bouldering walls dont need to be framed with 2x6's on 16" centers like those "how to build a climbing wall" says. your not throwing enough weight around. this is 2x4 framing on 19.2" centers. For all ye non carpenters, just look for the black diamond on your tape measure and you will see what i mean. :D
