So I'm thinking about building a wall at home yet living with my parents leaves me with very little space. Basically the only place that I could build one would be in my closet. Yes I know its a very small area but I think it could be quite fun none the less. Its 26in deep by 46in across by 96in high space and I can use the ceiling too. Is this at all feasible or am I just crazy and wasting my time? Thanks in advance for any of your help! :D

Why not move out of your parents house?? :roll: Or ask them if you can use the living room for a climbing wall and make them delicious vegan cuisine, in gratitude, :idea: Or ask them for membership dues in a local climbing gym. :!: Or use the garage :?: :?: Or make one of those movable walls and place climbing holds on that !!! Or climb outside :shock:

1. I'm still in school and therefor am Reliant on my mothers funds
2. "It's called a living room. It's for living not for climbing."-Mom
3. I have a membership to the local Climbing gym yet they have wacky hours and at times I just need my climbing fix!
4. We have a 2 car garage with 2 cars. theirfor no room whatsoever.
5. I climb outside every chance I get. But again I would like to have a place to practice and just mess around.
6 Your sarcasm is not needed I'm just asking for some ideas that any of you may have and thankyou to everyone else who has been more than helpful so far.

Don't try to make a wall in the closet, you'll only be disappointed that it's not bigger. Personally I think the hangboard should be called hangbored but that's just me.

If you've got the motivation and some helpful friends I'd go for a freestanding wall in the backyard. A search of this site should give you some design ideas. Good luck.

Just to show how much I care veganclimber, I saw one of these movable climbing walls for sale right here, under used gear from a jstreet guy-now you can have what you want ,see how sincere I am. 8)

uhh i think yer missing two things, first off, he's already said he can't really afford to buy anything and therefore was interested in other alternatives. so continually suggesting the same thing isn't going to be very helpful. secondly, i agree with vegan on the fact that the sarcasm is a little lame. you calling someone childish because his mom wants to live in her house and not climb in it doesn't really do much but aggravate people and make you look narrow minded.

i agree with dlintz about being somewhat disappointed with a closet sized wall. i even have a decent size wall and have kinda lost interest in it after a few months. with something smaller i think i would become boring due to lack of problems, even if you were moving holds around. if you don't have the space i would suggest just sticking to a finger board, because a wall that size will most likely not be accomplishing much more for you than that.

Me narrowminded, :?: :lol: :lol: I'm as easy-going as people get, besides dear, Chris--I think this is a troll or something he wrote when he was half-asleep or stoned. :twisted:

When I asked the question I was quite serious and looking for genuine suggestions and helpful information and I got that from everyone but you. Now I don't care what your opinion on my situation is but in the future it might be wise just to keep quiet because your sarcasm is not encouraging in the slightest bit.
That aside i've decided to get a hangboard and go from there. The free standing wall sounds like a great idea and as summer rolls around it will most likely be the way I go. Again thanks for all your suggestions you really have been very helpful and aside from the troll this is looking to be a great and helpful forum. THANKS! :)

leave the guy's sarcasm alone. ull live even if he does bruise ur pathetically sensitive ego. go eat some damn red meat.
