Starting with the last thing...

Here's the first thing that was actually constructed for the climbing gym. I knew I wanted an arrete for the wall. Even before I had the wall. I designed it such that it could be mounted horizontally (like a roof), or vertically- an arrete. After the kids played a while with the room, I decided the arrete would be much better for a workout- and besides- a roof would be coming!

Prehistory

This is before the first piece of wood was mounted to the wall for the climbing gym. The board on the back wall was simple a proof of concept, as that is where the 13 degree wall will end up going. In the back left, the knee wall was taken out for the purpose of a roof area.
