Hey GG, I was going through old pics the last couple of days and found the ones from the 2007 NRR. Did we ever send you guys the few pics we got of you?

They were just mad that you ankle was getting pussy and they weren't.

Well, my plan is a 12' high x 8' wide frame at 30 degrees off vertical, with a 4' kickboard. You're right though, the main goal will be to have just screw jibs as feet, but I will probably get a few bolt-on feet. I plan on having about 128 t-nuts per 4x8 panel... that's 6" apart.

8' seems narrow, figure there will be at least a foot on each side which really isn't climbable. My old wall was about 12'x12' it was good size. More up would have been good though.
I wouldn't purposely buy bolt on feet. You will probably get enough when you buy sets.

Yeah, I want to make a 12x8 frame with three panels set sideways so the 8' side is the width of the wall. I will mount this to four posts at 30 deg overhanging, with the bottom edge about 3' off the ground. I will then mount a footboard to this to the ground. It should be about 14' high in total and 8' wide. The main reason Im not going wider is the sheer bulk of the frame if it's much wider. I want height moreso than width and with 8' I should be at least be able to do a few sideways moves in a 14' climb.

So 16' high you reckon? Hmmmmm
Here's a sucky drawing of my plan.

2-3' kickplate is plenty on the bottom.. 4' starts becoming a waste of space. mine is 8' wide and has enough room for sideways stuff.
screw on holds are good for arete routes up the sides to be able to use the whole width.

Yeah, my drawings suck... it's supposed to be 30 degrees, so the base wont be that far from the top.
That woody you show is cool lookin'. Self-supporting... I like the idea, but wasn't sure if it would hold up. I guess it does then. My plan is to cement steel poles as supports.

Good advice, thanks! I was just going to use a 4x8 panel so I didn't have to saw it in half, but 2' of footboard is probably a good idea.
So I may end up deciding to do a 16'x8' frame afterall... go big or go home, eh?

Yeah, I second the motion that 4 feet of kickboard is tuphar. Although with that size, you would be eliminating the need for scrunchy sitstarts on the steep wall.
As for the 16' x 8' frame, is this going to be in or outdoors? Either way, i would make it steeper than 30 degrees. 45, minimum. Go steep or go home

It's great what a few emails can do... some of them look like big gummies! Yum!! Free holdz!!!!!! *shitz pantz in rage!!!!* Yay!! I still have about two shipments coming. A couple of samples I had to pay shipping on, but I don't mind that. Best deal so far was SoIll... got three packs for $15... so 15 holds. The three Rock Candy sent were totally free but, for my wall, are footholds. Me no complain... You should try and only use screw on jibs for feet. Unless your wall is tall enough to track. Well, my plan is a 12' high x 8' wide frame at 30 degrees off vertical, with a 4' kickboard. You're right though, the main goal will be to have just screw jibs as feet, but I will probably get a few bolt-on feet. I plan on having about 128 t-nuts per 4x8 panel... that's 6" apart. so you will have 16 feet of up? 8' seems narrow, figure there will be at least a foot on each side which really isn't climbable. My old wall was about 12'x12' it was good size. More up would have been good though. I wouldn't purposely buy bolt on feet. You will probably get enough when you buy sets. Yeah, I want to make a 12x8 frame with three panels set sideways so the 8' side is the width of the wall. I will mount this to four posts at 30 deg overhanging, with the bottom edge about 3' off the ground. I will then mount a footboard to this to the ground. It should be about 14' high in total and 8' wide. The main reason Im not going wider is the sheer bulk of the frame if it's much wider. I want height moreso than width and with 8' I should be at least be able to do a few sideways moves in a 14' climb. why not just go 8x16 and get rid of the bottom? 30degrees isn't really steep enough to warrant a kick panel. So 16' high you reckon? Hmmmmm Here's a sucky drawing of my plan. In reply to: ; Looks steep for 30 degrees. Yeah, my drawings suck... it's supposed to be 30 degrees, so the base wont be that far from the top. That woody you show is cool lookin'. Self-supporting... I like the idea, but wasn't sure if it would hold up. I guess it does then. My plan is to cement steel poles as supports.
You could do similar but make it to last.

If you had a full 16, I would envy your woodie.
