If you’re a climber who owns a home or are in the market for one, it’s safe to say you’re not living-in-a-van obsessed with climbing. But if you are actually that obsessed, your home may be in need of some custom climbing additions.

Luckily, homes are a great surface for all things climbing. From hangboards to full climbing walls, if you have the will, there is probably a way to incorporate your climbing dream into your home. Check out some of these crazy home add-ons from other chalk-fingered homeowners.

Gear Racks

Anyone who’s opened their rope bag to find a pile of knots can tell you the horrors of disorganized gear. Gear racks are a simple DIY project that fit about anywhere – modified carabineers also make for great gear hooks. If you have more gear than you have bags, a couple hooks can save you headache later.



Hangboards

Anyone from apartment dwellers to homeowners can install a hangboard in their home. This one from Blank Slate functions like a standard doorframe pull up bar, with a modular board for various holds.



Landscaping

A pegboard is another great, low-impact addition for your home – these sit flush on a wall and work great in a garage or home gym.

If you’re considering building some actual climbing walls, your backyard is a great place to start. Retaining walls and tree houses are ripe for climbing elements. You can even replace the ladder on your child’s swing set with a mini climbing wall.

Exposed concrete on the side of a house doubles as a climbing wall with a few holds.



Woodies

nd a terraced yard is begging for a wood or concrete bouldering wall.

For most climbers, these are all just stepping-stones on the path toward the ultimate dream – a home practice wall.

An extra bedroom or garage is a great place for a woodie.
