Building A Climbing Wall - Day 5

Okay, the "Day" numbering in the titles are probably a little confusing.  Basically, they indicate any actual day I was able to make some headway on the tower (not necessarily sequential days).

Last Thursday the climbing holds arrived via UPS.  I went with the Metolius Mega Pack (40 pieces) since it offered a lot of flexibility, a pretty good price-per-hold, and has decent ratings. Here's one of their stock photos - I believe this one is the 30-pack since we have some holds that I don't see in the photo.
I took an hour today to start attaching holds.  The one wall that is in place now will be the easiest of the eventual four.  I wasn't too creative in placement of the holds, but really wanted to get something installed.  The girls had a blast!


  
I installed about a dozen of the 40 I ordered. There is room on the right side of the wall for a few more holds.  I'm hoping to make it a little more difficult to climb over there. I suppose all that is left is to save a couple of bucks up so I can buy the lumber to make another wall :-)
