In another post Wes said your 2 climbing walls are the "perfect" angles.
Could you please tell me what the angles are?
Bob

You better cover yourself and go with 0, 15, 30, and 50 degrees.

I like around 15 and around 30, which is pretty much what ray and michelle's walls are.

I don't know if this is any help but if you want to figure out how far out to make your wall at the top for these angles, take the vertical height of the angling portion and multiply it by the tangent of the angle. For 15 degrees the tangent is 0.267949192431123 and for 30 degrees it is 0.577350269189626.

So if your wall is 144 inches (12 feet) vertical you come out

144 x 0.267949192431123 = 38.58 inches at the top for 15 degrees and

144 x 0.577350269189626 = 83.13 inches at the top for 30 degrees

Replace 144 with the actual vertical height you are dealing with. Sorry if you already know this. Just trying to help.

Oh yeah, I knew that! Pffft!

Holy crap,Danny! that rocks. All figured out for me. Brings back memories of dozing off in Trig class. that teacher droned on for what seemed like hours.
