EXPECTIONS VS REALITY - I BUILT A HOME CLIMBING WALL!

Hi! That's right I built a home climbing wall! With a new lockdown in the UK I decided it was time to commit! So here's the video of me building a home climbing wall and of course climbing on it!
I hope you are all ok and staying safe! Hopefully, we will be out of lockdown soon and we can all go climbing again!
(Also sorry about the clickbait! I haven't had a chance to take a proper photo of the wall without rain)
Let me know what you think of the video!

this carpentry scares me

[@JoshRundle]

Haha imagine what it does to me! 😅

[@yoavraman8919]

hopefully not kills you?

[@JoshRundle]

@@yoavraman8919 haha I hope not too!

[@joshcarr2989]

As the boards called the Titanic, the first project should be the Iceberg! great vid, so jealous looks amazing!

[@JoshRundle]

Haha that’s a good name! Thanks for naming it. Thank you 😊 it’s pretty nice, it’s definitely keeping me sane. Hope the lockdown is ok for you.

[@CLANK...]

Few tips for your next one: many timber/builders merchants have panel saws, and can cut your ply to size when you order it (plus you often only pay for what you use!) Use a circular saw when cutting plywood, if you want a straight cut. You can stack and cramp the sheets and cut multiple simultaneously if needed. Get a cordless impact driver for setting. Good effort though, keeping after it in lockdown 💪

[@JoshRundle]

They are great tips thank you! Next time I’ll have to do that, I imagine it will make it quite a lot easier. Thanks keeps me entertained 😊

[@copycatlyn]

dude this is terrifying LOL im glad you stuckl to your goals though! :)

[@MF-CLIMB]

When opening a video entitled ‘I built an insane climbing wall’ I certainly wasn’t expecting to see a man shaving his hair off in his pants 😳

[@Nick-B78]

🤣🤣🤣

[@SnowmansApartment]

thats the beauty of 2020-2021.. 😅

[@JoshRundle]

Haha I like to keep you on your toes 😂😉

[@michaellim4125]

I loved this part!! LMAOO

[@meganegamache-marion3737]

You always put up super nice content with amazing editing quality. I can't wait for your channel to blow up!!

[@JoshRundle]

Thank you so much 😊. Me too that would be amazing!

[@copycatlyn]

dude your house and view looks beautiful! Wish i was you!

[@andyperrin4208]

Great Vid, loved the carpentry skills, put a smile on my face and really made my day 😁

[@JoshRundle]

Thank you 😊. Your comment made my day 😁

[@lucymog]

If you're ever in need of plywood I highly recommend finding a local builders merchant or timber yard - it's so much cheaper than B&Q and usually much better quality!

[@JoshRundle]

That’s a great tip thank you! I wish I would have done that to start with, would have saved some money 💴. Next time 😊

[@alexenders6839]

Beautifully filmed and edited!!

[@JoshRundle]

Thank you 😊

[@ChrisPriestley93]

This is sick dude! Fair bloody play

[@JoshRundle]

Thanks man 😊. Had to be done this lockdown around!

[@56curious]

I rate the effort Josh! Won't be hiring you for any carpentry jobs anytime soon though haha

[@JoshRundle]

Haha 😂 I would say that’s a good call!

[@ewanbennett4001]

highly recommend]d watching the setting portion at .75 speed for "drunk josh"

[@alejand5]

Haha

[@ewanbennett4001]

or the whole thing

[@JoshRundle]

Haha maybe that should be a video! Drunk setting and climbing 🧗‍♀️

[@malakaioconnor9939]

Exited for more videos like this!!!

[@JoshRundle]

Thank you 😊 more to come!

[@YnseSchaap]

Did this during the lockdown and it got a bit out of hand, my upstairs is now a boulder gym 😁

[@felixvaudin898]

What about the yellow/green hold in the top left corner. Any projects finishing there?. Cool video btw👍

[@JoshRundle]

There are but more for the Ondras of the world rather than me. It’s such a bad hold 😅 I can’t even hold it 😂. The people I bought it from said they used it for a bad foot hold haha. Thank you 🙏

[@olliemilner1]

You might want to bolt the wood! Screws don’t have good lateral strength and are likely to shear :)

[@JoshRundle]

Thank you! Haha that wouldn’t be good 😅

[@hyau23]

Are you using retro flash app or eat spray love app? (Retro flash is the better one)You or other people can set problems

[@JoshRundle]

I’m not but I need to download it, I’ve used Retro Flash before in the gym. It was really good.

[@Enzo34]

Cool build! Do you pre drill your holds or just straight in with the screws? Are you going to use some crashpads or anything, looks painfull falling right now haha

[@CLANK...]

You shouldnt need to pre drill if youre using the right screws

[@JoshRundle]

Thank you 🙏. I just screwed them straight in, it seemed to work ok. I have one small one I’m not sure you can see it in the video. I do miss it reasonably often 😅.

[@rosshenderson8171]

@@CLANK... so these aren’t changeable like with t nuts?

[@CLANK...]

@@rosshenderson8171 yeah, screw in holds are changeable (thats the idea of a screw), just take out the screws and refix as required, dont use stainless as its too soft a metal to be screwed in and out all the time

[@makrele2487]

Great

[@JoshRundle]

Thank you 😊

[@babsds0]

Did you put t-nuts in the back of the board before you put the holds in?

[@JoshRundle]

No I didn’t, I just screwed them straight in, most of the holds are screw ons anyways so I figured it would be ok.

[@EverdayClimber]

I'm considering making a home wall and am wondering about weather management: Did you stain the wood, and how do you protect it from the rain? Your home wall looks super cool

[@JoshRundle]

Nice!!! I didn’t treat the wood but I bought some big tarpaulins to cover it, which worked for a bit but it still got wet. I think for long term solutions the best thing to do is build a roof for it. Mine was only a short term board for lockdown

[@EverdayClimber]

@@JoshRundle Thank you! That's good to know, that was my biggest concern

[@jacobstangier7528]

You could add a Kickboard, it Makes for a much nicer climbing and you probably get one move more

[@JoshRundle]

I thought about adding one when I built it but I wasn’t too sure how to add one. Maybe I should add one 💪 thank you 😊

[@Nick-B78]

So I’m glad you shaved your head as it goes some way to making that horrendously awful carpentry look slightly better 🤣🤣🤣 Actually who am I kidding, those boards are SOOOO badly cut! 🤯

[@JoshRundle]

😂 are you saying you don’t like the shaved head look? Haha you know what’s more funny, I thought they where pretty well cut 😅.

[@Nick-B78]

@@JoshRundle Actually you seem to pull off the shaved look quite well which is fairly unusual. Anyway, I’m just teasing mate, the wall looks decent enough and climbing in climbing at this point. I made my own wall a little while ago but have been too injured to use it so far which is infuriating!

[@JoshRundle]

Haha thanks I can’t say I’m planning on going back to it. Ha don’t worry I know me too 😊, yea it’s still standing so can’t complain. O no that suck! I’m sorry injuries are rubbish! I hope the heal up soon!

[@conorrarelysends]

YOU DID MY IDEA! HAHA I LOVE IT.

[@JoshRundle]

YES! Thanks for the idea! I am definitely enjoying having a board to climb on!

[@nathanstewart2264]

Finally! Someone showing how normal people build walls! :P

[@JoshRundle]

Haha finally! I would definitely say “Normal” is the nicest ways to describe my DIY skills 😂

[@user-mx4lv7ss9z]

How is your climbing wall getting on now? I am going to build a similar one but afraid it is not enough solid

[@JoshRundle]

I took it down sadly

[@user-mx4lv7ss9z]

@@JoshRundle thanks...

[@JoshRundle]

@@user-mx4lv7ss9z sorry I cant be more helpful. I only had it up during lockdown

[@pauljakeman]

Nice work mate. Oooooh you shaved your head after, I thought it took that long to deliver the wood your hair grew back 😉 suits you budd. Congrats mate, nice work, catching up on some of your older videos. You still using this?

[@JoshRundle]

Thanks, unfortunately not I had to get rid of it!

[@pauljakeman]

@@JoshRundle aw mate how come?

[@hunter5695]

This would be such a cool project, but i'm not sure how much use it would get if I made one.

[@JoshRundle]

It was really fun to build. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be to be honest. I’ve ended up using mine about 4 times a week.

[@daveperbellini]

Hi Josh! Can you use it even if it rains?

[@JoshRundle]

Hi! Yes you can, but I put a big tarpaulin over it so it doesn’t get wet

[@GingerWizard03]

Josh what's the green jacket you're wearing?

[@JoshRundle]

It’s called the North Face Super Zephyrus . It’s quite old now, I think I got it in 2016 or something, it’s an amazing jacket, my favourite ever. Mainly for sentimental reasons. Here is a link to an article about it in climb magazine www.climbing.com/.amp/gear/apparel-engineering/ might help you find one if you want one.

[@GingerWizard03]

@@JoshRundle Ah thank you. It looks good but sadly its discontinued and I think their Ventrix Hoodie is like modern version of it.

[@JoshRundle]

@@GingerWizard03 ah that’s a shame, it was a while ago I guess.

[@Gamertaaag]

Do you know Emil Abrahamsson? He uploaded a video about Hangboard Training a few days ago. It is called Hangboard Training 2 Times Per Day For 30 Days, and he made a training schedule based on a scientific article called: "Minimizing Injury and Maximizing Return to Play: Lessons from Engineered Ligaments". Have you watched that? What do you think of that of that Training method? I think I will give that a try :) Would be awesome if you could share your opinion

[@JoshRundle]

I know of him, he makes some awesome videos. I saw the thumbnail on his channel the other day, it sounds really interesting, I did see there had been a lot of chat about it on the Lattice site. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet but I need to. O cool, let me know what you think about it. Ill have a watch and maybe give it a go :)

[@hotamadeus2726]

How is it after some rain?

[@JoshRundle]

It was ok I put loads of tarpaulins on it

[@hotamadeus2726]

@@JoshRundle oh alright thanks for the reply!

[@TheGooglySmoog]

Not your fault, jig saws are the worst tools for cutting a straight line.

[@JoshRundle]

Ah that makes me feel better 😅

[@GabrielPKulka]

Am I the only one who saw the Climbing Daily guy on the thumbnail?

[@JoshRundle]

Haha Matt? Maybe the shaved head makes me look like him.
