Great book!

I used this book to building an indoor climbing wall. The guide has excellent common sense knowledge about such a project as well as ideas you may not have considered. The book gives notes on just about everything you might need to construct a wall from beams, to plywood width, to features, t-nuts, bolts, and holds. A truly complete guide that I highly recommend.

Excellent resource

This is a fine, detailed book explaining how to plan and build an indoor climbing wall. The book is organized and methodical in it's presentation and includes every aspect of the planning.

Crash pads and flooring7. Handholds and footholds8. Hold installations, routesetting, and wall maintenance9. Training10. Legal and insurance issuesThis book has a huge amount of "no-nonsense" information for one small volume. A good investment for anyone interested in building a climbing wall.
