Here's what I'd do.
-Make the top beam longer than the width of the wall. Fix the vertical front supports at the ends of this beam so they are not right next to the wall. Means you won't run into them if you are doing dynamic moves to holds near the edge, so it gives you more useful wall area.
-Better yet, ditch the supports and use the roof trusses...
-Run the inclined beams for the crack machine full length down to the base of the wall. Will help with rigidity.
-Think about standard ply sizes (1200 by 2400). Looks like you might have already figured to sheet this up with 2 sheets, plus one more for the kicker.
-Go taller if you have the room. Never trained on a garage woody that was too tall.
-Get some good mats...
