Home Climbing Wall Routesetting- The Basics

Welcome to the new channel. We will be discussing the in's and out's of Routesetting on your homewall. This video covers Basic route decisions that need to be made such as how you are going to mark your routes, what your foot hold policy is, correct bolt length. I also take you through a wall reset at my home wall. If there is anything you want me to cover, drop a comment, I am more than happy to make more videos

This video is pure gold! So many great tips.

Oh thanks!

[@EverdayClimber]

Cool Home wall! I like your style with setting and hope I can go for that too!

[@DoughJoSetting]

Thanks! It has since expanded and gotten a bit bigger. The setting thing definitely works but it certainly costly to do it the way I do

[@ClimbingHoldNewsReviews]

Sick work Kegan! We need more information like this available for people! Can't wait to see more!

[@DoughJoSetting]

Thanks man! Hopefully we can get some cool and helpful stuff up for people

I'm setting up a wall for my 2 year old grandson!!

What is the dimension and angle of your wall? Try to construct one myself so am looking around to have a feeling what is the best for me.

[@DoughJoSetting]

Every climber is different and will have different needs for their homewall. Unfortunately, there is no one right answer. My wall is 11 feet tall by 16 feet wide. Half of the wall is a 20 degree overhang and the other half is a 30 degree overhang. With that said, I would prefer something a bit steeper. The reason the angles are what they are is because I had to take into consideration by wife and stepson's needs as they are beginner climbers. The 30 degree wall allows me to use some pretty difficult holds when still providing a somewhat steep terrain to practice a wide variety of movement.

[@imxd9698]

Can you go over what general holds you should have and some brands you recommend?

[@DoughJoSetting]

I'm more than happy to make a video about that. I will warn you, while I would like to think that I can be objective, I do shape holds for a dozen hold companies so my opinions could be viewed as biased. All of the holds on my wall are holds that I have designed.

[@Luigi-pj2gi]

Ey i have a question. What's the right distance between holes in plywood, to put hold so near?

[@DoughJoSetting]

I don’t think there is a right or wrong distance but my wall is on a 6 inch grid

[@ilickspam]

[@DoughJoSetting]

I found mine on Craigslist for pretty cheap!

[@dposch]

[@DoughJoSetting]

Home built! Pretty cheap any easy to do!

[@Gameenexclimber]

What angle is your wall?

[@DoughJoSetting]

I have a vertical, 20, 30 and 35

[@icocress]

I mark my routes by taking photos, than I just print them and have a book with different problems 🙂

[@DoughJoSetting]

Oh man! That’s a lot of ink!

[@icocress]

@@DoughJoSetting I don't have thousand problems ddd

[@SomChefen]

​@@DoughJoSettingmy gym has a binder by the spray wall with black and white printed photos of the wall, and then people color in the holds that are "in" for certain problems

[@dposch]

“dont climb over stuff” **climbs over stuff

[@DoughJoSetting]

Lol was definitely meant to illustrate what I was talking about. Please don’t climb over things
