Home Bouldering Wall project

I'm a rock climber, have been practicing for the past 9 years.

When we arrived in Kenya, having some time and some cash in my hands, I wanted to undertake a project. The first climbing gym was under construction in Nairobi and yet to open, so I decided to build my own bouldering wall in my backyard.

I designed it myself and build it myself with some help for some part I couldn't do alone.

Planting the first poles, 50 cm deep in the ground, and fixing them with concrete.

Putting up the beams and fixing them with metal plates connecting them.

Then slowly adding the structure, in the background to maintain the overhanging boards, as well as the structure for the ceiling and roof.

Then slowly shaping the climbing structure, where all the boards will be fixed to connect the holds.

Putting up the roof with iron sheets.

Slowly adding the board, and then starting to fix some holds.

The structure takes shape now and we can start climbing.
