Hi Zarb, nice drawing! As far as the structure goes I don't think the top triangle is necessary. The don't add any strength And instead of those horizontal beams I think its better strength wise to have a vertical 4*2 beam every 600mm across.

I'm sure you can easily do a couple of cracks and still fill out the rest with ply for plenty of bouldering. In fact, if you want your HIT in the middle and a crack either side, just put two 4*2's for each crack spaced a third of the way in from each side, and they will give the structural strength for the wall. Add strips of ply inside the crack to vary the width if you like. Then fill the rest in with ply and your done.

For bouldering a 300mm kickboard makes more use of dead space at the bottom. Also for bouldering best angle is between 30-40 degrees. Any steeper and the holds have to be too juggy, unless you can do V12.
Hang boards are really good value for training. Throw a boulder circuit around the wall you can barely do 2 laps on, then repeat a few times, is good value for small wall.

Hope that makes sense, good luck with the project.
