This is not an exhaustive how-to video; rather it outlines the creator's experience making his own at-home climbing wall. Before attempting something similar, make sure you evaluate your location carefully for strength and use a stud finder. Exercise caution and common sense when working with power tools and saws and be sure to wear appropriate eye and ear protection when necessary.

Remember: Safety while climbing is your responsibility. No article or video can replace proper climbing instruction and experience. Make sure you practice appropriate technique and safety before you climb.
