    Misc. Calculating load/force for an adjustable climbing wall

    Hey anorlunda, I appreciate the concern. I am building this wall for myself. That said, I'm sure other people close to me will use it. This is not something I would let children use and all adults would be warned that I built it (maybe a sign "cliimb at your own risk" would be useful). Just...

    Hey jedishrfu, Thanks for the video. I love watching Destin's videos. I have been looking into this when I saw that most bike hoists uses a snatch block style system. The great thing is you can set it up so you can use a lot less force to move something. The unfortunate thing is it adds more...

    The construction of this climbing wall is all done with 2x6 boards and 3/4" plywood. With some base calculation I estimate the wall to weigh roughly 400 lbs. Assuming the max weight of a climber is 200lbs. That would put me at 600lbs. Since this wall is on a hinge the maximum weight at the top...
