Well, I finished my home wall last week. We rent the house that we live in, so it is completely free standing.
The wall is 8'3" tall at the lip and the interior is a little under 6' wide. The overhang is about 47 deg. and has about 10' of vertical climbing surface. There are about 500 T-Nuts in all three walls combined.
Framing is all 2x4 spaced 12" OC. The structure is rock solid. Nothing moves, shakes, or creaks in any way. It's basically four separate components held together with beefy bolts so that it can be taken apart for moving.
So far I'm very pleased with it. I wish I had the space to make it a little bit wider, but other than that it's great. I have plans in the future to add a second freestanding wall that is less overhanging. I would be able to make that wall wider since it could be turned the other way.
Now I just need to build up my hold collection!

Looks awesome. How is it with such a steep overhang. I have a 50 degree overhang in my basement that i was thinking of building a wall on. Is it to much of an overhang or is 50 degrees just fine for you?

I decided on the angle mainly for training. I wanted to be able to use it for a HIT wall, and that is what they recommend. Ideally I would also have a section about 20 deg. or so, but since I have the vertical side walls I should be able to do some circuits that get down onto the side walls to keep from getting too pumped.

That's cool. If I had the money for that I would build one. How much did that cost you anyway?

When you're married with kids it's usually better if you don't keep track. I'd guess it was somewhere around $450 not including holds, though.
