Hey Thanks Folks,

I was in a dilemma as my Girly wants to play on it too but she isnt able to do it on any overhang, (I also wouldnt say I'm right into bouldering, more into face and slab climbing at the moment although I know working on some bouldering skills would be good.) Once she gets a bit better it will only take me a couple of hours to change it so the big wall leans back at what ever angle (up to 30 degrees). its just a case of unbolting the frame that holds the wall to the steel (9 big bolts) and putting wedged "spacers" in. The steel is buried 900mm into the ground and each is stuck in with 80kgs of concrete.. so I dont think it is going anywhere. Stage 2 will be finished this weekend (the roof and finish the ends). Stage 3 is where I'm building another lower wall on the side of the house round the corner and a roof that connects... the wall att to the house will be adjustable, 2.7m high and about 3.6m long.. Its just a big solid frame mounted at the bottom on hinges and using chains to lower it to whatever angle (the bottom of the hinged bit will be about 350mm off the ground.) So.. you'll be able to travers from the closest corner, into the dihedral under the roof, across to the left, under the joining roof to the adjustable wall and along.. so 9.5m one way..

Appreciatte your comments, will try and post another pic when I've done stage 2.

Cheers
