| Just wanted to show off my junior climbing wall I built for my 3 year old. He is tiny for his age so can't really take him to adult climbing walls, so I built him an indoor removable climbing wall. |

| Pretty cool! And clever too. Never thought of building my own wall. I guess you can buy the pegs and just drill them into the wall? |

Revolution Jib Combo Climbing Holds - 40 Pack - $39.95
http://www.rei.com/online/store/ProductDisplay?storeId=8000&catalogId=40000008000&productId=47905304&parent_category_rn=4500749&vcat=REI_SEARCH
8x4 plywood, a set of screws and some tubular insulation from HomeDepot - $35
Seeing my kid reach the top in a spider man fashion - priceless :)
It was a fun little project, I can take the wall up and down for protection and safety. I don't use any harnesses or ropes yet because my kid is still very light and I can catch him if he falls. At his last birthday party it was a huge hit with all the kids and my arms were VERY tired from spotting all the kids. |

| Sweeet! That's how old my nephew is. We've had him out on the rocks, caves and canyons this summer. Can't wait til my own kid gets here in November. |

we've got a big maple tree in my backyard that has a ton of climbing holds on it for my little ones. LOL
on a branch about 12 feet up i installed a bolt/rapide to top rope my little guys and allow them to get comfortable being in their harnesses.
gotta start em' young :2thumbs: |
